This is a proposal for a planning grant that aims to prepare a full proposal in the future to develop professional development materials for teachers in the area of environmental science. Most of the funds requested in the planning grant are to assemble a group of scientists, science educators (some of whom have led the development of national standards in science, math, and geography) and teachers for a two-day conference. The purpose of the conference is to develop a synthesis of best practices toward education about the environment. The ultimate goal is to produce a publication (tentatively titled "Resources for Environmental Literacy') that will identify the concepts and principles every American should know in order to make thoughtful public and private choices; to participate in a rational discourse about issues related to the environment; and to appreciate the interrelation of the human and natural worlds. This publication will assist teachers by demonstrating how environmental knowledge can be achieved through the integration and application of learning across the disciplines, on issues that are of considerable interest and great importance to students

这是一项规划拨款的提案，旨在准备一份完整的提案，在未来为环境科学领域的教师开发专业发展材料。计划拨款中要求的大部分资金是为了召集一群科学家、科学教育工作者(其中一些人领导了科学、数学和地理国家标准的制定)和教师参加为期两天的会议。这次会议的目的是总结环境教育方面的最佳做法。最终目标是出版一本出版物(暂定名为《环境素养资源》)，以确定每个美国人都应该知道的概念和原则，以便做出深思熟虑的公共和私人选择；参与与环境有关的问题的理性讨论；并认识到人类与自然世界的相互关系。这本出版物将通过展示如何通过整合和应用跨学科的学习来获得环境知识，并就学生感兴趣和非常重要的问题提供帮助
