What might a developmental curricula for ecoliteracy education look like?

Hungerford et al. (1980) proposed a four-stage process to becoming eco-literate.

1.Foundational Understanding of Processes (e.g. interdependence, energy flow, material cycling)

2.Human Value on Environment (and Human Perception of It)

3.Investigative & Evaluative (students propose viable alternatives to current solutions)

4.Skill Building for Enactment of Values
