[|USA Today: Environmental Education Gets a Green Light]

This article from July of 2008 details how a charter school in Washington teaches students about sustainability as early as kindergarten. The effects of the program are quite apparent in the behavior of the students. However, this type of education has proven hard to implement, an unfortunate side-effect of the No Child Left Behind Act. One of the interviewees raises the important point that, " When environmental education becomes advocacy, it no longer is environmental education. The role of an educator is not to teach kids what to think but how to think."(Greg Niguidula)

[|Treehugger: 10 of the Best College Environmental Programs in the U.S.]A new kind of college top 10 list, Treehugger has compiled some of the most unique approaches to environmental education found on college campuses. The most interesting among these is Wisconsin's Northland College, which requires all undergraduates to take sustainability-oriented courses, regardless of major. The other schools also have innovative programs, including Montana State's vegetable farm students work on and Middlebury College's Middlebury Mountain club. Other colleges on the list include Cornell University, SUNY-ESF, and Yale University, among others.(Greg Niguidula)  Curriculum Review Essay  New Modules     Films Seen in this Semester's Film Series: Brunswick Darwin's Nightware  Peer Evaluation <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetical,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;">
