Environmental Education for New Brunswick Classrooms
Environmental education in the New Brunswick classroom has taken a new
leap forward! Today in Fredericton, the New Brunswick Environmental
Network announced “Earth Ed”, their new environmental education
catalogue. Earth Ed is a comprehensive bilingual database with over
400 listings geared to the New Brunswick curriculum.
“Teachers can easily find useful books and materials for the
classroom. They can connect with speakers who will give presentations
or they can locate interesting field trip destinations so students can
learn in an interactive way about the environment. It is a very
exciting and valuable instrument for all educators. Basically it was
designed by educators - for teachers”, said Christa McMillan, NB
Environmental Network webmaster.
The goal of Earth Ed is to provide an opportunity for teachers to
obtain materials and resources to actively engage their students in
environmental learning and sustainability education. “Teachers can
perform searches for resources which will fit specific curriculum
outcomes. Searches can be refined by language, environmental topic,
course stream or grade level”, continued McMillan.
This easy to use catalogue was produced by the New Brunswick
Environmental Network with funding from the New Brunswick
Environmental Trust Fund.
Earth Ed is accessible online at www.nben.ca/earthed.htm.
The New Brunswick Environmental Network (NBEN) was established in
1991. It is a communication network linking together over 75
non-profit environmental organizations throughout NB. The role of the
NBEN is to improve communication and co-operation among environmental
groups and between these groups, government and industry. The NBEN
provides educational opportunities for it’s member and associate
groups and encourages the growth of the environmental movement in New Brunswick.
