Envisioning Environmental And Outdoor Education, Charles Yaple May 1997

Envisioning Environmental And Outdoor Education, Charles Yaple

Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education

Cliff and some other seasoned veterans see no problem with the multiplication of terms being used to describe the many shapes and forms of environmental and outdoor education and view it "as a sign of health and great opportunity." Others worry about the splintering effect of so many differently named attempts to foster an ecological conscience and commitment to environmental stewardship in a critical mass of humans.

Environmental And Outdoor Education For The 21st Century, Charles Yaple

As we rapidly approach a new century it seems appropriate to assess the status of environmental and outdoor education and seek direction for the future.

Why It Is Important To Keep Recess In Schools, Mary Lou Mcgee Cushing Jan 1997

Why It Is Important To Keep Recess In Schools, Mary Lou Mcgee Cushing

Graduate Research Papers

Recess is a common part of most elementary school schedules yet its benefits are often not clearly articulated. As a result recess may be thought to be expendable from school curricula as school districts adjust already full schedules in an attempt to accommodate every necessary component.

This research review explores the relationship of recess to school schedules, time allotments, activities commonly observed at recess, and developmental (social, cognitive, and psychomotor) aspects of recess in schools. Also addressed are common criticisms of recess in schools.

Shifting Paradigms: A New Look At Animals In The Classroom, Stephen Huddart And Craig Naherniak Oct 1996

Shifting Paradigms: A New Look At Animals In The Classroom, Stephen Huddart And Craig Naherniak

Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education

So, a metal plate about the size of a placemat- the trim tab-enables course changes on a 200,000 ton bulk carrier traveling at 18 knots! As humane educators, we observe similarly disproportionate effects when, under certain conditions, the care of animals is integrated into the life of a classroom. Here, for example, is a comment from Vancouver teacher Alex Angelomatis, who regularly brings his elderly dog Seymour to school: "Just by being in the classroom, Seymour acts as a catalyst for participation.
