Why Ecoliteracy Now! For a Clean, Green Beautiful Future: Environmental Literacy - The Why Behind Place Based and Outdoor Experiential Learning (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781075305740)

Aloha As populations increase worldwide it's important to understand where we come from and the communities we live in and build together. This booklet is a means for quickly understanding three main things: The science behind climate, the why behind many of the school gardens and worm composing, and how to get yourself or others past the fear of change and into action. Many educators are given new programs to implement every year - from NGSS, Common Core, STEM, STEAM, STREAM - and it can be overwhelming especially for new educators in their first 5 years, or even seasoned educators. As a former classroom teacher with 20 years of experience and another decade as a consultant to transform schools facing resistance to change, or needing inspiration and energy to engage in new changes, this piece is a simple yet dense go to for information. It is relevant for really understanding the WHY behind Place Based Experiential Learning and the series to follow provide smart fun examples of how to accomplish the "new trends" in your schools while taking the fear out of the change, while also allowing educators to see that they don't have to throw out their favorite lessons to meet new standards. Everything is connected. This book is for anyone interested in learning how to integrate literacy, math, science, technology and art into any outdoor activity -- this is a primer. Ecoliteracy Now provides information and defines ecoliteracy from the leaders of ecoliteracy in a way that makes sense in a system. Thank you for your interest in Ecoliteracy and Environmental Education.
