Environmental Education for New Hampshire: A Plan for Community Involvement.

Overview & Synopsis

This environmental education plan, developed for the State of New Hampshire, is based on the premise that environmental education is most likely to be meaningful if implemented into the schools at the local level. The purpose of this publication is threefold: first, to define environmental education and comment on environmental education methodologies and facilities appropriate for use in school programs; second, to recommend courses of action essential to the realization of New Hampshire's priority environmental education needs; and to outline a strategy for promoting citizen involvement in environmental education. The plan contains the following sections: Introduction, Places for K-12 Environmental Education, Recommended Courses of Action, Community Environmental Education Plan, and Annotated Bibliography. The policy statement of the New Hampshire State Board of Education relative to environmental education is appended. (BT)
