Charting the curricular institutionalization of environmental education, particularly as it seeks to establish an appropriate niche in the K-12 curriculum, was the focus of a recent symposium held at the annual conference of the North American Association for Environmental Education in October, 1987. Contained in this document are the papers presented at the symposium and a survey of 40 states regarding practices related to environmental education.

Brandwein); "WholeEarth Learning: An Infused Approach to Education about the Environment" (Cheryl Charles); "The Educational Context: Environmental Education in the School Curriculum" (Paul Hart); "Environmental Education and Student Behaviors" (Harold R. Hungerford); "Environmental Education in the School Curriculum: The Research Base" (Louis A. Iozzi); "Environmental Education in the Curriculum: It's Already There!" (David C. Engleson); "The Problem of Curriculum Infusion in Environmental Education" (Milton McClaren); "Environmental Education: The Right Product at the Right Time" (Rudolph J. H. Schafer); "An STS Perspective on Environmental Education in the School Curriculum" (Peter A. Rubba); "Alternative Curriculum Models for Environmental Education" (Chris Buethe); "(How) Can Interdisciplinarity Be Implemented?" (William F. Hammond); "Beyond Infusion and Single Subjects: The Issue of Fit of Environmental Education in the Curriculum" (Ian Robottom); "The Brain-Mind System and Infusion" (Bob Samples); "Environmental Education: Larger than a Single Curriculum" (Kay Monroe Smith); and "Environmental Education in the School Curriculum: Does It Fit?"
