Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Earthwards shifts the lens from using nature as a throwaway object to understanding nature as a living organism. This crucial paradigm shift comes through peak experiences of nature. The educators job is both to create the conditions for such transformative ecological experiences and then to bring out the observations, feelings, thoughts and questions of students. Educators can use innovative action research to engage with students in a variety of settings - including classrooms, clubs, volunteer groups, outdoors, gardens, forest experiences, camping and hiking. Sharing these learning stories helps build the culture of a real eco-school.Each chapter includes the story of practical learning projects from primary through secondary school; ecological principles, a reflection section for educators, a curriculum connections section to bring those principles into practice, and suggestions for multiple age groups. Helpful resources, a comprehensive bibliography, index and sharing website offer further help to educators. Earthwards shows teachers how they can help students to understand nature as a living organism and develop the ecological literacy and personal resilience they need to think and act ecologically. Katharine encourages teachers and students to think and act ecologically, sharing transformative stories and methods of connecting with nature for life.
