Teaching Ecological Citizenship through an Earthen Early-Childhood Curriculum
Hooven, Jenn; Kissling, Mark; Woods, Misty
Social Studies and the Young Learner, v34 n2 p19-26 Nov-Dec 2021
Jenn Hooven, Mark Kissling, and Misty Woods show how children between the ages of 3 and 5 learn to be ecological citizens at the Child Care Center at Hort Woods on Penn State's University Park campus. The authors demonstrate how the curriculum provides a learning focus on animals, insects, plants, weather, and nature-at-large and includes both planned and spontaneous connections to the outdoors.
