Abstract | This collection is designed to help educators find outstanding curricula, multimedia resources, and other educational materials that can enhance biodiversity teaching in a variety of settings. The curriculum materials were reviewed by teams comprised of classroom teachers, content experts, and environmental educators. The materials listed in this compendium received the highest ratings of those reviewed. The six characteristics used to evaluate the curriculum materials include fairness and accuracy, depth, emphasis on skills building, action orientation, instructional soundness, and usability. There are two major parts to this collection. The first part highlights 47 of the best supplementary curricula that focus on some aspect of biodiversity. Each entry includes a summary of the curriculum and information about grade levels, subject areas, author, publisher, and price. Each entry also includes comments specific to the six key characteristics and a few quotations from the reviewers' evaluation sheets that help summarize the review. The second part of the collection contains an annotated bibliography that features general background information, children's books and magazines, multimedia resources, web sites, and a variety of other resources focusing on biodiversity issues. Topics covered include wildlife, endangered species, wetlands, global warming, and marine biology. (PVD) |
