DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn this timely book, curriculum expert Gerald A. Lieberman provides an innovative guide to creating and implementing a new type of environmental education that combines standards-based lessons on English language arts, math, history, and science with community investigations and service learning projects. By connecting academic content with local investigations, environmental study becomes not simply another thing added to the classroom schedule but an engaging, thought-provoking context for learning multiple subjects. The projects outlined in the book further students’ understanding of the way human and natural “systems” interact locally and globally, and provide the next generation with the knowledge necessary for making decisions that will be critical to their future—and ours.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book brings together stories of the green schools movement ((Eco Schools, Enviroschools, Green Schools, Sustainable Schools, ResourceSmart Schools etc) in several countries around the world, with a focus on the impact of the movement on the development and implementation of education for sustainable development in each of the countries. In particular, each story will explain the history of the movement per country, its current status, achievements, obstacles and broader impact. There have been a number of evaluations of these school movements at a national or more local level, and numerous articles and chapters have been published on aspects of these schools’ activities, but to date these have not been brought together in a single volume that focuses attention on the impact of the movement on education for sustainable development in each country. This is the purpose of this volume. The green schools movement focuses on a whole school approach which aims to include everyone (students, teachers and the local community), to improve school environments, including resource usage and the environmental footprint of the school, to motivate students to take on environmental problems and seek resolutions particularly at a local level but also thinking globally, and to improve students' attitudes and behaviours as part of developing a sustainable mind set.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn response to the rapidly emerging environmental imperative that environmental awareness needs to be taught in the schools, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) through its Centre for Educational Research and Innovation (CERI) developed a project oriented toward grass-roots improvements by schools within environmental education initiatives. Based on the recognition that schools can provide a framework in which to gain experience in investigating, reflecting, and acting upon environmental issues, it was agreed that the participating OECD countries--Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Federal Republic of Germany, Finland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, and Switzerland--should identify those schools that were already developing the most innovative ways of teaching and learning about environmental issues ranging across a spectrum of scientific, economic, and cultural points of view. This report summarizes and gives examples of both the work carried out in these schools, as well as the main pedagogical and strategic issues that provided the basis for this CERI project. Part I, Towards Environmental Awareness, deals with the basic pedagogical premises and provides an in-depth analysis of how these premises have emerged within the work of the selected school programs. Part II, Case Studies, is a series of descriptions and accounts of the 11 schools selected by each of the cooperating countries. Part III, Perspectives, considers environmental and school initiatives from four different perspectives, namely: educational, environmental, industrial, and governmental. An overview of the participating schools is also provided for easy reference and contact information. (JJK)
