Jennifer M. (Kaydence) reviewed Ecoliterate: How Educators Are Cultivating Emotional, Social, and Ecological Intelligence on + 380 more book reviews
I'm a huge fan of anything that incorporates action and education in the classroom. I truly believe that when students are active in something, even if they don't initially care about it, they grow to care and be involved. Eco Literate is filled with case studies of how educators have brought experience and involvement into the classroom for their students. It gives ways in which educators are sharing experiences with their students that allow them to be involved. These activities encourage student knowledge of the world around them, their ability to change the way they live (and their parents), and to become more knowledgeable about the world how to build some other intelligences. This will not be a "How-to" type teaching book, but a good teacher should be able to learn from the experiences of others and translate them to their own classrooms. It is just like learning through stories.
