Wisconsin's historical commitment to environmental
education is well-known. Legislation requiring instruction in
the conservation of natural resources at both the elementary
and secondary level, and requiring science and social studies
teachers to have "adequate preparation" in the conservation
of natural resources was passed during the 1930s. Wisconsin's
Model Academic Standards for Environmental Education expand upon
the state's already significant efforts. Because environmental
education is interdisciplinary, previous efforts to define discipline-centered
standards have not fully captured its essence. The environmental
education standard is an umbrella document that describes the
integration of the disciplinary standards to create curricula
that will produce environmentally literate citizens.
