In 2011, Maryland became the first state in the Nation to require students to be environmentally literate as a high school graduation requirement. The State Board of Education ruled that “each local school system shall provide in public schools (Pre-K-12) a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary environmental education program infused within current curricular offerings and aligned with the Maryland Environmental Literacy Curriculum.” The requirement does not require a specific environmental course for students; instead, each local school system will shape its own environmental education program, but the program must align with Maryland Environmental Literacy Curriculum Standards. There are eight state standards: - Environmental Issues - Interactions of Earths Systems - Flow of Matter and Energy - Populations, Communities and Ecosystems - Humans and Natural Resources - Environment and Health - Environment and Society - Sustainability
