However, in order to provide this function, outdoor spaces, including parks and schoolyards, must be designed within the context of the prevailing urban climate and projected future climates.

I will be travelling to the USA in January 2016 for five weeks. While there, I will visit schools, farms and also attend the Colorado Agriculture Teachers Conference on 29-30th January 2016. I am happy to send a detailed report of my experiences and share what I gained during this study tour with all Agriculture teachers out there.

School of Education University of and Early Childhood Studies Western Sydney © Charles Kivunja March 2006 Charles Kivunja ii Charles Kivunja iii DEDICATION This thesis is dedicated firstly, to my wife Georgia, for her love and assuming the responsibility for the daily pressures of the family so that I could concentrate on this project uninterrupted. Her patience and understanding as the wife of a teacher-student over the last thirty four years have been a source of encouragement to my academic pursuits. Secondly, it is dedicated to my daughters, Caroline and Diana, for their love and understanding of my addiction to the completion of this thesis. Charles Kivunja iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am thankful to many people whose support, encouragement and assistance was most helpful in the conduct and completion of this thesis. Among them is my kind friend and colleague, John Pellicano, who proof-read drafts of this thesis during its development. I would also like to thank all the interviewees – principals, teachers, students, parents and DET officials – that gave up their valuable time to provide the information that made this study possible. I owe to the Strategic Research Directorate of the New South Wales Department of Education and Training special debt for allowing me to conduct this research among its schools. I am equally indebted to key decision-makers in the Catholic Education Office, Parramatta Diocese, including Dr.
