The Environmental Education Collection: A Review of Resources for Educators
Volume 1

The Environmental Education Collection: A Review of Resources for Educators (updated 2004) is designed to help educators find curricula, multimedia resources, and other educational materials that can enhance teaching environmental education in a variety of settings. It is hoped that this resource guide will assist educators as they plan, develop, and implement creative and effective environmental education programs.

Curriculum guides and other educational materials included in The Environmental Education Collection: A Review of Resources for Educators were evaluated by teams of classrooms teachers, content experts, and environmental educators. The materials were evaluated using the Environmental Education Materials: Guidelines for Excellence developed by the North American Association for Environmental Education.

The write-ups of the materials included in this document were designed to point out the variety of factors an educator may wish to consider when deciding which materials are most appropriate for a particular group of students and how those materials might be used most effectively.

The Environmental Education Collection: A Review of Resources for Educators, Volume 1

The synergy between the various parts of the primary Reviews - the summary of reviewer comments, the subjects, the brief description of the materials, and the reviewers' quotes - creates the richness and integrity of these reviews. It is strongly recommended that educators read both pages of each review in order to take in the full flavor of the materials. The "Reviews in Brief" do not contain a substantial teacher's guide and are therefore presented in a shorter format. These resources were reviewed using the same rigorous guidelines as the longer reviews.
