Environmental Literacy
If you help connect children to the world around us, then you are a part of environmental literacy! Now and in the future students must make difficult decisions that impact the health of the environment, success of our communities, and vitality of our economy. As educators we must provide them the skills they need to face those opportunities and challenges.
Environmental education integrates an understanding of scientific concepts and societal needs and is designed to develop students that are environmentally literate. An environmentally literate person understands the implications of his/her actions, and has the skills to critically think about and make responsible choices. These skills are transferable to every facet of life. Click here to find out more about environmental literacy and Alaska’s plan. The results of this effort will have widespread impact and promises to bolster current environmental and outdoor education opportunities for every school across Alaska.

ABOUT ANROE: The Alaska Natural Resource and Outdoor Education Association is a statewide group of school teachers, naturalists, state and federal agency staff, and others who help young and old alike learn about and appreciate Alaska’s natural resources.
Alaska presents special challenges to educators. They must find ways to adapt to vast distances, high costs, cultural diversity, and other factors unique to this magnificent state. As Alaska’s population grows, the state needs strong commitment and collaboration from educators to ensure children and adults are prepared to make wise resource use decisions. ANROE members are committed to helping fellow educators meet these important challenges.
