Abstract
Environmental education (EE) is a learning process that increases people's knowledge and awareness about the environment and prepares learners to be environmentally responsible citizens (UNESCO, 1978). One common approach to integrating EE into the formal education sector is to infuse EE into existing lessons or units in subjects such as science, history, and social studies (Monroe & Cappaert, 1994; Ramsey et al., 1992). A variety of supplemental resources have been developed to assist teachers with this process. Project WILD, Project WET, and Project Learning Tree are among the most widely used and nationally known EE programs in the United States. Together, they contain hundreds of lessons that are easy for teachers to use in the classroom to convey concepts and practice skills. These materials are well received because they bring a balanced focus to popular environmental concepts and encourage teaching methods such as cooperative learning, constructivism, and utilization of higher-order thinking skills. These EE materials are only available through workshops, which are typically offered to preservice students or in-service teachers.
