Element+1--+Content+Standards,+etc.

I'm currently looking at environmental literacy documents from other state to see if they can be helpful. I joined the Environmental Literacy Plans Network to look at their example plans, but there's not as much sold info there as I had hoped.- Sean

I have uploaded the first saved draft of our section. Feel free to download it and make comments, corrections or additions. I haven't quite figured out how to directly navigate to the files page, so here's a link: http://ky-env-literacy-plan.wikispaces.com/file/detail/KY+Environmental+Literacy+Plan+element+1.docx -Sean

Specific content standards, content areas, and courses or subjects where instruction will take place.

Sean's plan is really good and really practical. Another (additional) idea might be to raise money to actually write a K-12 environmental literacy curriuculum that aligns to the standards and uses Kentucky's ecosystems as examples and as areas to research. Several states (PA, CA, OR) already have such curriculum and, like the KET Arts Toolkit of a few years ago, they are very popular with teachers. - Jane
