Students of the Claremont Colleges

Course: Theory and Practice in Environmental Education

This course concerns itself with the theory and practice of
environmental education. Students are trained in principles of
environmental education, and serve as instructors to children from
elementary schools in Pomona and Claremont. Participants work in teams to develop and teach effective environmental curricula at the Bernard Biological Field Station. In addition to teaching environmental ethics, local ecology, and critical ecological concerns, course participants serve as role models of environmental sensibility and community involvement.
