Provides students who have a conceptual knowledge of environmental education,

with operational experience under field conditions.

EDUC. 462-4: Environmental Education (Outdoor Education)

The design of multi-disciplinary educational programs to develop awareness of the

urban and natural environment.

This summer the Summer Institute in Environmental Education will once again be

offering the summer program based in the lower mainland. The program is organized

as a Summer Institute, meaning that the focus of immersion in an 8-semester hour, two

course block will be retained. Sessions will be held full days, Monday to Friday, each

week. There will be at least one overnight field trip away from the course site. Optional

Monday or Friday day trips will also be offered occasionally over the course of the month.

It is therefore not expected that students enrolling in EDUC 452/462 will take other

courses concurrently during summer session.

addresses the educational implications of human-environment interactions. It is

environmental curriculum development, and critiques, human-environment
