Integrating environmental education throughout the curriculum
To prepare today's students to meet growing global environmental challenges, colleges and universities must make environmental literacy a core learning goal for all students, in all disciplines. But what should an environmentally literate citizen know? What teaching and learning strategies are most effective in helping students think critically about human-environment interactions and sustainability, and integrate what they have learned in diverse settings? In Teaching Environmental Literacy, educators from the natural and social sciences and humanities discuss the critical content, skills, and affective qualities essential to environmental literacy. This volume will be an invaluable resource for developing integrated, campuswide programs to graduate a citizenry that can think critically about, design, and live in a sustainable society.
