Earth education programs (like Earthkeepers and Rangers of the Earth) motivate learners in understanding basic ecological processes, developing positive feelings about the natural world, and using their new understandings and feelings to begin making changes in their own environmental habits. If you recognize that we need a more structured educational response to our environmental problems, believe in providing direct contact with the natural world through adventuresome learning experiences, and want to assist people in developing a deeper personal relationship with their home planet, then this workshop was designed with you in mind. In an earth education workshop you will receive: + an overview of the history and methodology of earth education + an explanation of how environmental education went "astray" + exposure to dynamic techniques which captivate learners + an introduction to concept-building and -structuring + a step-by-step description of a model earth education program + participation in both the understanding and feeling components of earth education For over 40 years this workshop has received outstanding reviews from participants in countries around the world. If you have not experienced this introduction to the earth education alternative to agency- and industry-sponsored supplemental environmental education, then you owe it to yourself to do so. Even more important, the earth needs you to do so on behalf of all its passengers. If you want to find out what makes Starflower Experiences' education unique and exciting (or if you think you might want to help us lead these programs), then join us for a full day of stimulating sessions and demonstration activities introducing earth education. This full day session will be held at Sweet Hollow Hall, West Hills County Park, Melville.
