EDU617 : Case Studies in Environmental Education

In this course we will engage Integral Ecology’s interdisciplinary model as a framework and methodology for organizing and integrating many different perspectives and content areas in order to cultivate systemic understandings of environmental problems and their solutions. Using this methodology, we will research and map an environmental concern in Kentucky. We will also consider theories of change to see what they may offer us in terms of fostering constructive conversations, cultivating innovation, and preparing young people to solve environmental problems. With these frameworks, methods and theories in mind, candidates will translate their findings into a curriculum map.
