About this ebook

A new integration of Goleman's emotional, social, and ecological intelligence 

Hopeful, eloquent, and bold, Ecoliterate offers inspiring stories, practical guidance, and an exciting new model of education that builds - in vitally important ways - on the success of social and emotional learning by addressing today's most important ecological issues.

This book shares stories of pioneering educators, students, and activists engaged in issues related to food, water, oil, and coal in communities from the mountains of Appalachia to a small village in the Arctic; the deserts of New Mexico to the coast of New Orleans; and the streets of Oakland, California to the hills of South Carolina. 

Ecoliterate marks a rich collaboration between Daniel Goleman and the Center for Ecoliteracy, an organization best known for its pioneering work with school gardens, school lunches, and integrating ecological principles and sustainability into school curricula. For nearly twenty years the Center has worked with schools and organizations in more than 400 communities across the United States and numerous other countries. 

Ecoliterate also presents five core practices of emotionally and socially engaged ecoliteracy and a professional development guide.

    At the core of this book are inspirational stories of educators applying the five practices of ecoliteracy. These practices include:1.Developing empathy for all forms of life.2.Embracing sustainability as a community practice.3.Making the invisible visible.4.Anticipating unintended consequences.5.Understanding how nature sustains life.Interspersed with the stories are enlightening environmental facts. This is a motivational book. Those expecting a detailed map for implementing ecoliteracy programs will be disappointed. The last two chapters are the most practical with professional development strategies for engaging colleagues in ecoliterate learning communities. The last chapter provides designs for using material from the book as part of these learning communities. The designs can easily be adapted to creating lesson plans for classroom use. In addition, the stories throughout the book may be shared with students to move them to care and take action. An extensive resource section organized to coincide with the book’s chapters will lead readers to a wealth of information and useful materials.Don’t read this book with the expectation of coming away with a detailed plan for furthering the ecoliteracy of students. Do read this book for inspiration and ideas.
