Ecopsychological Education: A Model
The Best of Maria Montessori and Paul Shepard

"Either the learner is at the center of learning or the curriculum is, but neither can occupy the limelight
meaningfully  without a harmonious integration  that  interlaces environmental science and ecopsychological  unfolding as The Education for the 21st Century."

"In the real contexts of environmental collapse, mindless consumerism, selfish or petty nationalistic politics, and global corporate rape of Nature, guiding and preparing the youth 'for the future' demands a total rethinking and overhaul of the 'average' curriculum.  If revamping the public educational system is not possible, environmentalist and Nature bonded families must devise a new pedagogical plan that prepares their (our) children for the chaotic realities that these ills will surely unleash."
