Does Environmental Education Work?

/in
It looks good. It feels good. Teachers and students love it. But does it really matter?!? The most recent research on environmental education from Stanford University answers this questions with clarity: yes!
A systematic review of the academic literature showed how environmental education makes an impact on both teachers and students. 90% reported INCREASED skills; 86% reported POSITIVE change; and 83% reported ENHANCED environment-related behaviors.
Stanford’s research mirrors our own SoundWaters data: environmental knowledge is just the start- our approach impacts overall academic achievement, critical thinking, civic engagement and personal growth. Read the report here.
