Abstract

Compared to previous generations, children today spend less time outdoors interacting with nature and all it offers. The current leisure trends are encompassed in technology as it becomes more accessible to children. Perhaps there is a way to bring back the importance of nature and intertwine environmental education concepts into teacher preparation programs. In that case, there is hope for future generations of children to reap the benefits of nature and more community members who are environmentally literate. This chapter reviews the importance of incorporating environmental education into teacher preparation. The review of literature also discusses common approaches to addressing the current gap in environmental education implementation along with barriers that have been encountered.
