= = = **Environmental Leadership** =

// The Environmental Leadership Course (EL) is designed to develop knowledge and skills that will train students for leadership in society as well as prepare students for a future in a wide variety of environmental fields. It also will arm students will the skills of critical thinking which will serve them well in college, university or life in general. Building upon the skills students have had the opportunity to learn in Outdoor Education (PAD3O) and/or the environmental issues in Environment and Resource Management (CGR4M), EL will develop skills of observation, data collection and scientific analysis through experiential, hands-on learning as a means to examine the interrelationships between science, the environment, and global citizenship. Beyond field work techniques, students will also demonstrate an understanding of the intricacies of communicating the critical messages of their discoveries, developing skills for media, journalistic and formal academic responses. //

// Environmental literacy will be fostered in order to better understand the moral and ethical challenges that face our local community and the world at large. //
