Center for Ecoliteracy

The Center for Ecoliteracy (CEL) provides information, inspiration and support to educators and other members of the educational community who are helping young people gain the knowledge, skills and values essential to sustainable living. Through CEL’s initiative, Smart by Nature: Schooling for Sustainability, the organization offers both a theoretical framework and practical resources for combining hands-on learning in the natural world with curricular innovation in education. Recognizing that no single blueprint will work for all schools, CEL’s seminars, consulting, books, teaching guides and other publications support a diverse range of approaches to schooling for sustainability.
