What is Environmental Learning? WEB

Environmental learning in the BC context can be seen as a composite of three distinct, yet overlapping forms of learning:  Environmental ‘Seeing’, ‘Communication and Action’ and Environmental ‘Thinking.’  The framework offers a model for introducing environmental learning in all settings, while providing principles for learning and teaching that can guide educators in designing integrated activities for a variety of learning contexts. It aims to provide diverse perspectives around which culturally and environmentally focused lessons may be developed.
