| Summary |
"Teaching young people the knowledge, skills, and values of active environmental citizenship is a crucial component of education in the 21st century. The challenge at the middle school level is to find developmentally appropriate teaching ideas that challenge and engage students mentally, physically, and emotionally." "The book offers 50 kid-tested teaching strategies that promote interdisciplinary hands-on learning about natural systems and foster critical thinking about environmental issues, both local and global. Richly illustrated, and including a helpful curriculum index, this book of contributions from over 60 educators from across North America has been edited by the award-winning Green Teacher magazine team. It is sure to appeal to a wide range of teachers, educators and parents seeking innovative ideas for incorporating green themes into their programs."--Jacket |
