Environmental education: roots in the past, visions of the future, opportunities in the present

Issue 33, 2005           Readership: primary
Environmental education (EE), also known as learning for a sustainable future (LSF), is a relatively new addition to the complement of areas that have been advocated as important components of the school curriculum. Many nations now recognise the imperative need for environmental education to be a part of every person’s education, and a growing number of schools in New Zealand and in other countries have begun to re-orient themselves to become ‘environmental’ or ‘sustainable’ schools1. However, these schools are the exception, rather than the rule. In most schools, environmental education has yet to become widely accepted as a mainstay of teaching and learning.

CERUKplus is the only free database of current education and children’s service research projects in the UK. CERUKplus would like to include practitioner research undertaken as part of masters degree courses or levels 3 + 4 of the Teacher Learning Academy in 2010, and would like to hear from practitioners interested in doing so. We are committed to supporting teachers and lecturers in their research work and building connections between communities of practice.
