Environmental Education

No. 9001, 1998, 38 pp., $15

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.
