Education and the Environment: Creating Standards-Based Programs in Schools and Districts

In this timely book, curriculum expert Gerald A. Lieberman provides an innovative guide to creating and implementing a new approach to environmental education. This innovative title combines standards-based lessons in English-language arts, math, history, and science with community investigations and service-learning projects. By connecting academic content with local investigations, this strategy avoids "curriculum overload" and instead results in an engaging and 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.
