What is the impact of environmental education on the general classroom curriculum?

What is NCLI? Environmental Education -active learning -“nature deficit disorder” -childhood obesity -academic achievement Environmental literacy NCLB Narrowing of curriculum Incentives

Get 'em Outside

Benefits of Environmental Education • Deeper engagement in curriculum • Greater understanding of environment • Fight challenges of obesity

Different Perspectives Disagree Peter Gray “ ‘No Child Left Inside’: An Example of the Wrong Way to Solve a National Problem” Results of the implementing of No Child Left Inside? Educational expenses Dislike of the outdoors Agree Report Card on the Status of Environmental Education in Washington State Better test scores Connection to the outdoors

Solutions • Design environmental assessment activities • Controlling consumption • Think about the effect our decisions have on the environment

Our Thoughts What about funding? Resources? Further teacher education? Incorporation of NCLI would benefit students' approach to learning Feasibility and integration with other subjects
