Programming for Environmental Education
Climate change, resource depletion, plummeting biodiversity, and environmental degradation are critical societal issues that require an educational response.
Environmental education has become central to teaching and learning in the 21st century, not only for certified teachers, but for all professionals who support teaching and learning in classrooms or communities.
This 3-course professional development series is designed specifically for professionals who support environmental education learning in elementary, secondary and community settings, who want to develop skills in program planning and assessment in environmentally-based teaching and learning.
What You'll Learn
Through active engagement with course content, outdoor and experiential learning, facilitators, guest speakers and other course candidates, you’ll explore the connections between system-thinking, ecojustice, and eco-identity in relation to environmental education.
By the end of the series you’ll have built knowledge and skills in program planning and assessment to apply in your environmentally-based teaching and learning activities. Please note, this course series will not be counted towards any future Ontario College of Teachers accreditation.
