The Green Literacy Handbook

"Environmental awareness and responsibility constitute an integral component of modern-day teaching. However, inspiring students to apply (and advocate) what they learn independently can be frustrating. In The Green Literacy Handbook: Inspire Environmental Stewardship Through Critical Thinking, Reading, and Writing, Grades K-5, Jen Cullerton Johnson and Mary K. Gove introduce readers to Green Literacy, offering a structured approach to teaching health environmental practices that elevates student engagement from regurgitative learning to critical thinking and self-initiated pursuit and practice. Equipped with knowledge of Green Literacy's foundation, its teaching model, and common thematic units to explore, readers will cultivate among their students a stronger understanding of their own direct impacts on environmental health and a deeper motivation to assume proactive measures in preserving their environment"--
