Environmental learning is education about the environment, in the environment and for the environment.
With the goal of integrating environmental thinking and ideas into learner’s everyday lives, environmental learning promotes:
- integrating science and social sciences with a multi-disciplinary approach
- learning about the Earth’s ecosystems
- identifying our individual and cultural values
- making informed and responsible choices
- critiquing societal and industrial practices that contribute to environmental problems
Environmental learning can take place just about anywhere – however in the outdoor learning area at St. Germain Elementary School, students are immersed in learning right in the heart of the Northwoods.
