Guide and Curriculum for Educators
While Gaia YES! Curriculum and Guide are primarily directed at educators and administrators working within schools, we hope the manual is also useful for parents, teachers in training, homeschoolers, educators, facilitators, and youth workers in informal and non-formal educational settings, as well as anyone interested in sustainability education including the youths themselves.
The Guide to the Gaia YES! Curriculum chapters can be read independently and in any order. Each chapter offers a table of contents for quick references so users can survey and review the topics of interest and concern to them. There is some overlap on general themes as they all address the same curriculum but they offer different perspectives and we hope this is helpful to the reader.
