New book: Education and the Environment – Creating Standards-based Programs for Schools and Districts by Gerald Lieberman, developer of the EIC Model™. EIC Model is an educational system that interconnects best practices into an instructional tapestry that improves student achievement by using local natural and community surroundings as a context for learning. This book summarizes the lessons that he has learned, over the past 32 years, seeking to more fully integrate the environment into the K-12 education system. It pulls together his experiences working with schools, districts, and state departments of education in 17 states, as well as in Central and South America. A chapter and extensive appendix summarize the research into the benefits of implementing environment-based education programs. It covers a wide range of topics including strategies for designing, developing, implementing, and evaluating environment-based education. Numerous real-world examples provide insight into the opportunities and challenges involved in achieving success—based on his national work with the EIC Model and the state of California’s Education and the Environment Initiative.
