CLUSTER: Teaching for the Future
A Conceptual Guide to K-12 Land Use Environmental Education |
|
|
|
|
The Creative Land Use Series for Teachers and
Educator Resources was developed to provide a conceptual guide
for K-12 formal and non-formal educational institutions
regarding land use environmental education. CLUSTER offers
educators a unique land use guide that provides the conceptual
framework, a suggested scope and sequence, and an extensive
resource guide. Until now there has been no complete, validated
conceptual framework, comprehensive resource for educators to
utilize in the development of land use curriculum materials. The
conceptual guide offers educators two great tools to quickly
learn about land use and also to begin incorporating land use
topics and issues into their existing curriculum.
The guide
contains active hyperlinks to the referenced resources.
Just click and go. |

As
part of the on-line course, NRES 780 - Land Use
Education and Resources for Teachers, students are
required to write a lesson plan that addresses a land
use planning issue (for more detail go to the course
website and look in the syllabus at
www.uwsp.edu/natres/nres780/. Even though this
guide is based on Wisconsin Model Academic Standards,
the on-line course is open to educators locally,
nationally, and globally. The following examples were
written by educators from across the nation and can
provide examples of how the CLUSTER concepts and guide
are applicable nationally. These examples were
included to provide educators a framework and ideas
for developing lessons for their individual
communities and classrooms. Some of these lessons are
in-depth and others are simple. The lessons cover
numerous subjects and grade levels. |
