more extensive and interdisciplinary version of the course which is taught

now that the Q designation
has
been approved for EOUC 452-8.
Changes to the program extend the range of environmental concerns and applications
through additional
Designs for Learning courses focusing on curriculum, teaching and
learning. These courses are rounded out
by
other Education courses, as well as a selection
of courses taken
from other faculties. In 2007, the BC Ministry of Education pubUshed a
new Environmental Education framework which pOSitions environmental education as a K-
12 and interdiscipUnary endeavour. Over the past several years students in our programs
have demonstrated that environmental themes can be infused into a number ofvarled
learning domains and so this variety
Is reflected in the expanded selections for student
elective
courses.
