This can occur through environmental and sustainability education within the early childhood curriculum. Teachers can nurture children s interest in the natural world by role modelling care and respect for the natural environment. This book explains how teachers at a childcare and a kindergarten implemented environmental and sustainability education as an integral part of the curriculum. The journey began with a two week environmental programme and progressed into a curriculum based on children s environmental interests supported by the project approach. A community of learners comprising teachers, children and parents was formed, resulting in environmental knowledge creation. A step by step approach with practical ideas for early childhood teachers wanting to implement environmental and sustainability education into their own centre curriculum is offered.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cynthia Prince\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 363902771X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783639027716\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller E.K.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/23\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.65d","brand":"Cynthia Prince","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486964003071,"sku":"9783639027716","price":85.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cfa697ad-24e6-4fbf-91c9-15605283cfce.jpg?v=1778057437","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/environmental-and-sustainability-education-in-cynthia-prince-9783639027716","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
