Essential Underpinnings of Environmental Education

Six Critical Criteria• Systems• Interdependence• The importance of where one lives• Integration and infusion• Roots in the real world• Lifelong learning

Page 13: Sponsored By: NAAEE U.S. EPA U.S. Forest Service EETAP U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Fish and Wildlife Foundation NEEF Northern Illinois University

Essential Underpinnings: Criteria

One

Systems – Systems help make sense of a large and complex world. A system is made up of parts that can be understood separately. The whole is understood by understanding the relationships among the parts.

Page 14: Sponsored By: NAAEE U.S. EPA U.S. Forest Service EETAP U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Fish and Wildlife Foundation NEEF Northern Illinois University

Essential Underpinnings: Criteria

Two

Interdependence – Human well-being is inextricably bound with environmental quality. Humans are a part of the natural order. We and the systems we create – our societies, political systems, economics, religions, cultures, technologies – impact the total environment. Since we are a part of nature rather than outside it, we are challenged to recognize the ramifications of our interdependence.

Essential Underpinnings: Criteria

Three

The importance of where one lives – Beginning close to home, learners forge connections with, explore, and understand their immediate surroundings. The sensitivity, knowledge, and skills needed for this local connection provide a bas for moving out into larger systems, broader issues, and an expanding understanding of causes, connections, and consequences.

Essential Underpinnings: Criteria

Four

Integration and infusion – Disciplines from the natural sciences to the social sciences to the humanities are connected through the medium of the environment and environmental issues.

Essential Underpinnings: Criteria

Five

Roots in the real world – Learners develop knowledge and skills through direct experience with the environment, environmental issues, and society. Investigation, analysis, and problem solving are essential activities and are most effective when relevant to the real world.

Essential Underpinnings: Criteria

Six

Lifelong learning – Critical and creative thinking, decision making, and communication, as well as collaborative learning, are emphasized.
