4 PART 1 - Introduction and Overview How environmental education is conceptualized and implemented in elementary and secondary schools is critical if we are to meet our ultimate goal of environmental literacy. Integrated across the curriculum, environmental education draws upon and supports learning in the natural and physical sciences, social sciences, and humanities. These disciplines are connected not only through the medium of the environment, but also through the development of environmental issue investigation and action skills needed for civic engagement. With a focus on global interdependence, we also know that environmental literacy encourages and ensures that individuals work locally as well as globally. Environmentally literate individuals demonstrate the competencies and dispositions that allow them to fully participate in global civic life. Because of this attention to global civic life, it seems important to look critically at the linkages between environmental literacy and global competency as articulated by the Council of Chief State School Officers and the Asia Society Partnership for Global Learning (Mansilla and Jackson, 2011). As teachers and other educators map their curriculum and develop the instructional strategies necessary to implement mandated standards, and to advance global competency and environmental literacy, we felt it would be useful to provide a resource that highlights some of the natural linkages between global competency and environmental literacy. Companion documents that illustrate the linkages between environmental literacy and the Common Core State Standards, the Next Generation Science Standards and the C3 Framework for Career, College and Civic Life are also available for download at A Framework for Environmental Literacy Excellence in Environmental Education - Guidelines for Learning (K-12) (first published by NAAEE in 1999 and most recently revised in 2010) offers a detailed curriculum and instructional framework and vision for environmental education that promotes progress toward sustaining a healthy environment and quality of life. By setting specific expectations for what young people should know and be able to do by the time they complete fourth, eighth, and twelfth grades, Guidelines for Learning (K-12) translates general notions about environmental literacy into an age-appropriate framework for effective and comprehensive environmental education programming. The guidelines emphasize the development of conceptual knowledge as well as thinking, investigation, and action skills necessary for civic engagement. They rest on the idea that environmental literacy must be a goal of society and that environmental education must play an integral role throughout educational systems.

5 Essential Underpinnings Environmental education builds from a core of key principles that inform its approach to education. Some of these important underpinnings are: Systems: Systems help make sense of a large and complex world. A system is made up of parts. Each part can be understood separately. The whole, however, is understood only by understanding the relationships and interactions among the parts. 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, economies, religions, cultures, technologies impact the total environment. Since we are part of nature rather than outside it, we are challenged to recognize the ramifications of our interdependence. 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 provides a base for moving out into larger systems, broader issues, and an expanding understanding of causes, connections, and consequences. 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. Environmental education offers opportunities for integration and works best when infused across the curriculum, rather than being treated as a separate discipline or subject. 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. Lifelong learning: critical and creative thinking, decision-making, and communication, as well as collaborative learning, are emphasized. These skills are essential for active and meaningful learning, both in school and over a lifetime. How are the Guidelines for Learning (K-12) Organized? Ultimately, environmentally literate individuals possess a sophisticated set of knowledge, skills, and dispositions that allow them to solve novel environmental problems and determine the best set of actions; they are engaged in civic decision-making and action. Four key elements of environmental literacy have been articulated and further delineated in guidelines: Strand 1: Questioning, Analysis and Interpretation Skills Environmental literacy depends on a willingness and ability to ask questions about the surrounding world, speculate and hypothesize, seek and evaluate information, and develop answers to questions. Learners must be familiar with inquiry, master Linking Environmental Literacy and Educating for Page 2
6 fundamental skills for gathering and organizing information, and interpret and synthesize information to develop and communicate explanations. This strand is comprised of seven guidelines, each of which details specific skills: a.) Questioning b.) Designing investigations c.) Collecting information d.) Evaluating accuracy and reliability e.) Organizing information f.) Working with models and simulations g.) Drawing conclusions and developing explanations Strand 2: Knowledge of Environmental Processes and Systems Environmental literacy is contingent upon a deep understanding of the environmental processes and systems that are typically included in the Earth system sciences and the ecological sciences. Importantly, environmental literacy is also dependent on an equally deep understanding of human systems, including political, economic, cultural systems and their relationships and interactions with Earth s physical and living systems. Understanding the ramifications of the interdependence of these systems is essential. Strand 2.1: The Earth as a Physical System a.) Process that shape the Earth b.) Changes in matter c.) Energy Strand 2.2: The Living Environment a.) Organisms, populations, and communities b.) Heredity and evolution c.) Systems and connections d.) Flow of matter and energy Strand 2.3: Humans and Their Societies a.) Individuals and groups b.) Culture c.) Political and economic systems d.) Global connections e.) Change and conflict Linking Environmental Literacy and Educating for Page 3
7 Strand 2.4: Environment and Society a.) Human/environment interactions b.) Places c.) Resources d.) Technology e.) Environmental issues Environmental literacy is not limited to conceptual knowledge. The environmentally literate individual is able to identify, investigate, and formulate potential solutions to environmental issues. Environmentally literate individuals have the skills needed to determine what if any action is warranted and to make reasoned decisions about their own involvement. Strand 3.1: Skills for Analyzing and Investigating Environmental Issues a.) Identifying and investigating issues b.) Sorting out the consequences of issues c.) Identifying and evaluating alternative solutions and courses of action d.) Working with flexibility, creativity, and openness Strand 3.2: Decision-making and Citizenship Skills a.) Forming and evaluating personal views b.) Evaluating the need for citizen action c.) Planning and taking action d.) Evaluating the results of actions Strand 4: Personal and Civic Responsibility Individual dispositions are also critical to environmental literacy. Environmentally literate individuals accept the premise that true civic engagement depends on the recognition of rights and responsibilities. They are willing and able to act on their own conclusions about what should be done to ensure environmental quality. As they develop and apply concept-based learning and skills for inquiry, analysis, and action, they understand that what they do as individuals and in groups makes a difference and they are willing to take responsibility for the effects of their actions. a.) Understanding societal values and principles b.) Recognizing citizens rights and responsibilities c.) Recognizing efficacy d.) Accepting personal responsibility Linking Environmental Literacy and Educating for Page 4
8 Educating for With the publication of Educating for Global Competence: Preparing our Youth to Engage the World (CCSSO 2011), a framework was established that addresses the need for a generation of individuals who can engage in effective global problem solving and participate simultaneously in local, national, and global civic life. Put simply, preparing our students to participate fully in today s and tomorrow s world demands that we nurture their global competency (CCSSO 2011, page xiii). Global competency is further defined as the capacity and disposition to understand and act on issues of global significance (CCSSO 2011, page xiii). How are the Global Competencies organized? Educating for Global Competence: Preparing our Youth to Engage the World (CCSSO 2011) articulates a set of four capacities. Although each is important individually, they are seen as interdependent and ultimately forming an integrated outlook on the world: 1. Globally competent students are able to investigate the world. Students investigate the world beyond their immediate environment. Identify an issue, generate a question, and explain the significance of locally, regionally, and globally focused researchable questions. Use a variety of languages and domestic and international sources to identify and weigh relevant evidence in addressing a globally significant researchable question. Analyze, integrate, and synthesize evidence to construct coherent responses to globally significant researchable questions. Develop an argument based on compelling evidence that considers multiple perspectives and draws defensible conclusions. 2. Globally competent students are able to recognize perspectives. Students recognize their own and others perspectives. Recognize and express their own perspective on situations, events, issues, or phenomena and identify the influences on that perspective. Examine perspectives of other people, groups, or schools of thought and identify the influences on those perspectives. Explain how cultural interactions influence situations, events, issues, or phenomena, including the development of knowledge. Articulate how differential access to knowledge, technology, and resources affects quality of life and perspectives. 3. Globally competent students are able to communicate ideas. Students communicate their ideas effectively with diverse audiences. Recognize and express how diverse audiences may perceive different meanings from the same information and how that impacts communication. Linking Environmental Literacy and Educating for Page 5
9 Listen to and communicate effectively with diverse people, using appropriate verbal and nonverbal behavior, languages, and strategies. Select and use appropriate technology and media to communicate with diverse audiences. Reflect on how effective communication impacts understanding and collaboration in an interdependent world. 4. Globally competent students are able to take action. Students translate their ideas into appropriate actions to improve conditions. Identify and create opportunities for personal or collaborative action to address situations, events, issues, or phenomena in ways that improve conditions. Assess options and plan actions based on evidence and the potential for impact, taking into account previous approaches, varied perspectives, and potential consequences. Act, personally or collaboratively, in creative and ethical ways to contribute to improvement locally, regionally, or globally and assess the impact of the actions taken. Reflect on their capacity to advocate for and contribute to improvement locally, regionally, or globally. Linking Environmental Literacy and Educating for Page 6
10 Linking Environmental Literacy and This document was designed to provide insights into the mutually reinforcing connections that can be found between Global Competency and the Environmental Literacy framework. To illustrate these linkages, a series of detailed matrices, displayed in Parts 2 and 3, have been created that cross reference these linkages. The matrices were developed with two distinct purposes in mind: 1) to help educators identify natural opportunities to connect the curriculum through a comprehensive, cohesive vision of environmental literacy and 2) to help educators identify how environmental education can support the development of global competency. Ultimately, this document is meant to be used as a tool for curriculum development and instructional design. Linking Environmental Literacy and Educating for Page 7
11 Comparing the Environmental Literacy and When the cross-references between and the Environmental Literacy framework are taken together, distinct patterns emerge. These patterns help us answer two questions important to curriculum development: 1) how can environmental literacy instruction best support the development of and 2) how can instruction designed to address Global Competency also support the development of environmental literacy. Table 1 displays an overview of the linkages between the Guidelines for Learning (K-12) and. The linkages are drawn from the more detailed matrices found in Parts 2 and 3 of this document. For ease of interpretation, the level or degree of cross referencing is coded, with darker shading indicating a stronger connection and lighter or no shading indicating little or no connection. Table 1: Overview of Linkages between the Guidelines for Learning (K-12) and Key: Level or degree of linkage None Limited Moderate Strong Strand 1 Strand 2 Strand 3 Strand Investigate the World Recognize Perspective Communicate Ideas Take Action It should be noted, as something of a disclaimer, that any attempt to identify linkages between Environmental Literacy and Global Competency is based on perspective, interpretation, and ultimate use. Some may well see linkages that are not identified in this document. Others may well feel that weak or non-existing linkages were identified. Our task was to try to find a middle ground one where we provide reasonable guidance to the natural overlaps and gaps between and Environmental Literacy. A great deal of the final interpretation will rest in our own practices and how we build curriculum and instruction to address both Environmental Literacy and.
