I HAVE BEEN SUGGESTING THE NEED TO REFOCUS ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION ON ECOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES INSTEAD OF SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION, FOR SOME TIME. I BELIEVE WE NEED TO START BY INTRODUCING OUR YOUTH TO ECOLOGY CONCEPTS IN THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL OF OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS. WE MUST CONTINUE THIS EFFORT INTO HIGH SCHOOL AND ADVANCED EDUCATION LEVELS. THE STUDY OF RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE NATURAL WORLD IS ESSENTIAL FOR HUMANITY'S FUTURE.
TO HELP START THE PROCESS, I FOUND A SITE ON THE INTERNET CALLED, "TEACHERS PAY TEACHERS" THAT OFFERS CLASSROOM MATERIAL FOR TEACHERS TO USE IN THEIR LESSON PLANS. I DEVELOPED A COURSE CALLED I'M JUST A TREE-LIFE DEPENDS ON ME" AND PUBLISHED IT ON TEACHERS PAY TEACHERS. IT PROVIDES TEACHERS WITH 18 DIFFERENT LESSONS ON RELATIONSHIPS HUMANS SHARE AND DEPEND ON WITH TREES. AFTER EACH LESSON THERE IS A ILLUSTRATION TO BE COLORED BY THE STUDENT FOR EACH DIFFERENT LESSON, FOLLOWED BY A SHEET FOR EACH STUDENT TO WRITE OR DRAW THEIR REFLECTIONS. THE COURSE IS AVAILABLE FOR $14.99 AND ALLOWS EACH TEACHER TO MAKE AS MANY COPIES AS NEEDED FOR THE CLASS.
PLEASE ENCOURAGE TEACHERS NEAR YOU TO CONSIDER USING THIS PROGRAM TO BEGIN INTRODUCING STUDENTS TO THE CONCEPTS OF ECOLOGY. THIS FORMAT CAN BE USED FOR NUMEROUS DIFFERENT RESOURCES TO HELP STUDENTS BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND THE NATURAL WORLD'S PROCESS OF SUSTAINING LIFE ON EARTH!
