  • Redwood Ed: a Guide to the Coast Redwoods for Learners and Teachers
    REDWOOD ED: A GUIDE TO THE COAST REDWOODS FOR LEARNERS AND TEACHERS Appendix I CALIFORNIA STATE CONTENT STANDARDS and ENVIRONMENTAL PRINCIPLES AND CONCEPTS California State Standards Field trips and activities can help students achieve California State Content Standards in many content areas. Listed below, in abbreviated form, are some of the Content Standards from grades 4-7 that can be at least partially taught either through field trips to redwood forests or through the activities in Redwood Ed. For the complete standards, go to the California Department of Education's web site: www.cde.ca.gov/be/st/ss Environmental Principles and Concepts Following the Content Standards, California's Environmental Principles and Concepts (EP&C) are given. The Environmental Principles and Concepts examine the interactions and interdependence of human societies and natural systems. The nature of these interactions is summarized in the Environmental Principles and Concepts. These principles and concepts are not intended to be another layer of standards imposed upon teachers. Rather, they are intended to provide guidelines and support for incorporating environmental education into all subject matter areas. Many of California's State Content Standards can be taught from an environmental perspective; the EP&C are intended to assist with that. As Redwood Ed is being written, an Environmental Education Model Curriculum is being developed. For information on the Model Curriculum or on the principles and concepts, contact: Gerald Lieberman, Ph.D. Director: California Education and the Environment Initiative 13648 Jackrabbit Road Poway, CA 92064 [email protected] APPENDICES Page 377 REDWOOD ED: A GUIDE TO THE COAST REDWOODS FOR LEARNERS AND TEACHERS Curriculum Content Standards Addressed in Redwood Ed To save space, these Content Standards on the following pages are listed in abbreviated, paraphrased form.
