Environmental education is a field characterised by a paradox. Few would doubt the urgency and importance of learning to live in sustainable ways, but environmental education holds nowhere near the priority position in formal schooling around the world that this would suggest. This text sets out to find out why this is so. It is divided into six parts: Part 1 is a concise history of the development of environmental education from an international perspective; Part 2 is an overview of the 'global agenda', or subject knowledge of environmental education; Part 3 introduces perspectives on theory and research in environmental education; Part 4 moves on to practice, and presents an integrated model for planning environmental education programmes; Part 5 brings together invited contributors who talk about environmental education in their own countries - from 15 countries including China, South Africa, Sri Lanka and the USA; Part 6 returns to the core questions of how progress can be made, and how we can maximise the potential of environmental education for the twenty first century.
Ons weet almal hoe nuuskierig jong kinders is, veral oor die wêreld rondom hulle, en die konstante vloed vrae wat hulle vra. Ek Wonder Wie? beantwoord ’n paar van die dinge waaroor kinders gewoonlik wonder wanneer hulle diertjies in die tuin, park of veld opmerk. Die boek is ontwerp sodat dit ’n vraag met geïllustreerde leidrade op een dubbelblad vra wat kinders dan die geleentheid gee om te antwoord of te raai. Die regte antwoord verskyn eers wanneer hulle die bladsy omblaai.
Ek Wonder Wie? is uitdrukkingsvol geïllustreer, en sal ’n ware vreugde vir kleintjies wees.
The SEND Code of Practice (2015) reinforced the requirement that
all teachers must meet the needs of all learners. This topical book
provides practical, tried and tested strategies and resources that
will support teachers in making geography lessons accessible and
interesting for all pupils, including those with special needs. The
author draws on a wealth of experience to share her understanding
of individual needs and show how the geography teacher can reduce
or remove any barriers to learning. Offering strategies that are
specific to the context of geography teaching, this book will
enable teachers to: ensure all pupils are able to participate in
every lesson; provide inclusive fieldwork opportunities that take
into consideration the needs of all pupils; use formative
assessments to measure learning and inform planning; plan the
classroom layout and display to enhance learning; successfully use
the support of their teaching assistants. An invaluable tool for
continuing professional development, this text will be essential
for middle school and secondary geography teachers (and their
teaching assistants) who are committed to creating an inclusive
learning environment for all pupils, regardless of their individual
needs. The book will also be of interest to SENCOs and inclusion
managers, curriculum co-ordinators, senior management teams and ITT
providers. Full of practical ideas and inspiration, and supported
by free online resources, this is an essential tool for geography
teachers and teaching assistants who want to deliver successful,
inclusive lessons for all pupils.
