WHERE STUDENTS LEARN BEST
- The Real World
The sustainability education process involves a hands-on and regionally specific approach directly related to where students live. This helps them apply what they learn to their daily lives. Through community based projects students:
develop increased awareness of local environmental, cultural, and economic issues
become stewards of the environment and make a personal connection to the social and environmental aspects of their community, as they are encouraged to become involved in community service
increase learning comprehension through work with positive adult role models that demonstrate the application of knowledge to real life
develop critical thinking skills as they take responsibility for their own learning and examining problems in relation to the whole.
develop citizenship skills as they learn to appreciate diverse viewpoints and learn how to work with others in pursuit of solutions.
