Why environmental education?
Environmental education improves critical and creative thinking skills and drives children to discover the world around them. It allows them to ask why the world works the way it does and fosters the desire needed to seek answers. It doesn’t advocate a specific viewpoint. Instead, environmental education teaches kids how to weigh and compare different sides of an issue which enhances their decision-making and problem-solving skills overall. It also gives a child ownership of their opinions and the freedom to express them while facilitating a genuine appreciation for nature.
STEELS Standards-Aligned
All programs have been thoughtfully designed with concrete goals and objectives that conform to the Pennsylvania Department of Education’s Integrated Standards for Science, Technology & Engineering, and Environmental Literacy and Sustainability, and Pennsylvania Technology and Engineering Standards.
