Advancing Education Through Environmental Literacy

Abstract

Packaged with this booklet is Meeting Standards Naturally, a CD-ROM that offers a compendium of free activities to help educators promote academic excellence and environmental literacy. Activities featured on Meeting Standards Naturally focus on a range of subject areas including social studies, language arts, mathematics, fine arts, science, and health. This broad focus speaks to the diversity of educators who are using the environment as a focal point for top-quality education. Together with the CD-ROM, this booklet is an introduction to using the environment as a context for learning and a means to help students develop essential skills. Both of these resources connect you with other sources of information and support that can help you continue your professional exploration of the tools and educational strategies used to advance both education and environmental literacy.
