Conservation education in schools Aligning teachers perceptions with students attitudes

In “Conservation education in schools: Aligning teachers’ perceptions with students’ attitudes” Global Field Program graduate Melany Sutherland explores teachers’ perceptions and students’ attitudes about conservation education. Through surveys distributed to teachers across multiple schools in the same district and to students from one suburban high school in Kansas, Sutherland found that “most teachers and students agree that a multifaceted approach that actively engages students across the curriculum, and throughout all grades, in learning about the environment and conservation would be most effective.”
