• Place students of all ages in direct contact with the natural environment;

• Emphasize the interdependence of all living things, their connection to the physical environment, and the special responsibilities of humans to the environment;

• Facilitate active learning through the use of observation, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills in a cooperative setting, and

• Instill confidence, encourage involvement, and inspire accomplishment by providing positive role models.
