Description
This special issue of Teacher Education Quarterly aims to engage readers in ideas and issues related to human-environmental relationships as curriculum context and the ways in which schools participate in exacerbating and/or ameliorating environmental problems. An overarching question was posed to the contributing authors: What are the roles and responsibilities of schools in addressing the ecological crisis? More specifically, what are the roles and responsibilities of schools and colleges of education in advancing scholarship as well as preparing teachers in the context of rapidly increasing global environmental degradation? This collection of work is also meant to further discourse around the argument that subject matter organization in schools lacks coherent context and that due to an emergent worldwide ecological crisis, it should. The essential question is, what role should schools and the accompanying curricula have on the consideration of urgent impending social and environmental crises? Curriculum has historically lacked emergent context and has typically been organized around narrowly defined content fields with little attempt toward integration or holistic understanding of interrelationships among subject matter disciplines.
