Statement Of Environmental Education

It was a cloudy night in November, it was the 2016 Legacy High School football banquet. There was catered Chipotle so the whole team was eating tons of food. It was the season that the bus crash happened. 4 coaches were hospitalized, and many many players were hurt. It was a tough season to play. The awards were being announced. I wasn’t expecting an award considering some very talented Seniors were getting called ahead of me. I was currently a junior, and Juniors don't usually receive these type of awards. The award was all-conference. This is created from the football conference that certain high schools are apart of, and combine to make the best team in the conference. “Austin Mullins, Defensive End” I walked up and Coach Voorhees started

Three seconds on the clock. This is the moment the team has been waiting for. Deep breathes, in and out. Desert Vista is up by two and this three point shot could win Mountain Pointe Pride baskeball team state championships! Suddenly, he gets a vision. All the hard time spent studying with his teachers, being benched failing. He is thankful for all the hard time his teachers and mentors have put in to help him succeed. He releases the ball just as the buzzer goes off. Silence. Fans gasp in awe. There is an uproar from the crazy, fanatic fan filled audience. He has won the 2013 Arizona State Championships! He sends up a silent thanks to his parents and coaches. Mountain Pointe students should be receive annual grade

It is the first round of the Basketball State playoffs, and with eight seconds left, the talented Northwest team is down by three. The star point guard speed dribbles up the court, the tension on and off the court is immense, the pressure is even greater. Everyone during and prior to this game, had witnessed a season full of promise, and the consensus conclusion for most recognized this team as the best team to have ever come out Northwest High School. This was our best and likely only chance for success. So as the point guard puts the ball up, time nearly stops, it has a chance, but in like in life, the game of basketball is unforgiving, he misses. As most made their pre-conceived predictions of the future, or lack thereof, a young sophomore and his Junior Varsity teammates, we were inspired by our elders walking off the court, and the doubters going home. Bonded together, and we believed we were destine for something historical, and mythological outside our small circle. Thus two years later the 2016 Northwest Varsity Basketball team, the discourse community, where I developed relationships with the people I still call my brothers. A community which has shaped my work ethic, and has given me the knowledge of the amount of effort and work it takes to be successful. All of which was in efforts for a goal not even pronounced among our teammates, to us the future was still a mystery, only realized to us a one

The mens game had an attendance of 1404. The fans were made up of donors, parents, students filling both student sections, away team parents and away student At the Men’s game there are court side seats that are not available at Women’s games. The game against Campbell was a big game for the men. The outcome of the game decided if the men were ranked fifth or sixth in the tournament and if they were going to clinch a first round bye. Because of the importance of the game for both teams Campbell fans traveled in mass to support their team. In the mens game against Campbell there was back and forth between our students and their student. There was a sense of pride in Panther Nation wanting to be better than the visiting Campbell

“It was an incredible experience to see all of the accomplishments of the award winners, not just in their respective sports but in the classroom and community as well,” said Hensley. “Every single athlete had a unique impact on their school and community. I was so humbled to be included in such an ambitious group of individuals.”

In the middle of June I’ll find myself on the football field drenched in sweat, hoping to make a “2-Peat”. I’ll be embraced by all the coaches and fellow players, we’ll all be like one big happy family. On game days the stands will be packed full of screaming fans, all confident that Monroe will win the game. After the win, the opposing team will leave with their heads held high, because we’re only good athletes, we don’t compare to the well rounded student-athletes at their school.

Cambridge mass the city of chance, opportunity, diversity and most importantly basketball. Growing up as child in Cambridge all you hear is stories about basketball and the great tradition, reputation we have built to become the model of a winning basketball, program over decades that seamlessly trout out great teams contending for the right to be named state champions every year. This tradition is passed on to each generation of kids in Cambridge very young because most likely my father your father once wore the falcon jersey over his chest or if we go way back in the 90’s those teams wore the warriors across his chest. I played for the falcons and graduated in 2015 after having finished my high school basketball career on a memorable run to the Boston garden. Playing in the semi finals against catholic memorial to be one of four teams to punch in our ticket to the big dance and represent as eastern mass champions in the DCU center for the state championship. Looking back at this photo brings me back to 2011 when I was still just 16 years old just dreaming about wearing the Cambridge jersey but I wasn’t doing so well with life. I was constantly getting into trouble with the law, not respecting authority, not focusing on my education and not taking my basketball career seriously everything was a joke to me I didn’t believe I’d make it this far in life there wasn’t much motivation to either, basketball was my only hope. It’s hard to believe the kid in this photo

Ben shot a penalty kick with 4 minutes left in the game, giving NCSSM the lead 4-3. The student section went crazy, however South Alamacen then scored with 2:30 left in the game. Neither team scored after South Alamacen tied the game at 4, so the game ended in a tie, however the soccer team had a good performance. I appreciated how a majority of the NCSSM community was at the game to support its’ athletes, as the student section made up at least 40% of the school. Conversely, I disliked how everyone showed up late, but making an attempt to show up at all still shows good school spirit. At the game, I learned that NCSSM’s students are very talented in areas other than academics, in this case in athletics. I also learned that soccer games are the closest to football games here so many people attend the home games. I will attend similar events in the future, being sure to watch different sports, because I met a lot of new people and saw how talented my classmates were outside of the

The red curtains open to reveal a blinding bright spotlight and a packed arena. Getting to the National Championship an immense amount of preparation. We had two minutes in front of the judges. We put our hands in the middle of our circle. For the last time of the season, we chanted “LHS cheer!”, and then we were off. The crowd was silent with anticipation. The routine felt like second nature and we ended up doing well. We made it to finals and ultimately took fourth place in the nation. It the first time in five years that our team had placed. It was a long journey getting to this point.

Growing up I had always known I wanted to do something meaningful, something I thought was important, and change the lives of people around me. It was not until my freshman year of college I realized what I truly wanted to do. My friend had gotten pregnant and asked me to attend her ultrasound appointments with her. Once the time came I went with her to receive a check-up to see how the baby was doing. Watching her progress was one of the most fascinating things I had seen.

We had an outstanding record of 26-3 winning the Region and District. That year we was the first to ever travel down to Chicago, Illinois and play for the National Championship. The players that were selected for the team was handpicked by the coach because he knew what the players were capable of doing. Every player had their own role on the team which made us so good. There was this one game when we played UConn Avery Point and it was a close game the whole time. The society was so different because there was gym was packed to the max with fans and specters. Going into that game we wasn’t prepared for that type of environment with students yelling our name, and making noise while we was at the free throw. As a team we stuck together and kept giving each other positive feedback and won the game. In the text there is a web that shows the

Sustainability development has three components: environment, society, and economy. If you consider the three to be overlapping circles of the same size, the area of overlap in the center is human well-being. As the environment, society, and economy become more aligned, the area of overlap increases, and so does human well-being. Therefore, education for sustainable development (ESD) is the use of education as a tool to achieve sustainability. Simply put, ESD is a way to make the world a safer, healthier, and more livable place for us and future generations (McKeown, 2002, pgs 7-9).

I feel greatly pleased in presenting myself as Environmental Engineering student. It was the first time I had seen a board with slogan ‘Garbage is Penny', when I was in grade five. My childhood brain could not understand the chemistry behind garbage being money. Following basic the concept of compost manure, I then realized garbage can be converted into money if recycled as compost manure.

According to Mintzberg, the environmental school of thought is a strategy dealing with the forces outside the organization. Unlike the other schools in his book, Strategy Safari, the environment plays a central role in the strategy formation process alongside leadership and the organization where the organization becomes subordinate to the external environment. The environmental school assumptions are that during the formative period of the organization the company shapes itself in response to the environment, but after that period is increasingly unable to respond to the environment. Moreover, the organization long term survival depends on the early choices made during its formative period. Over time, Mintzberg states, leadership becomes

The third phase of environmental education in Iran was from the years 1997-2005. This phase is also called Reformation Period and was marked by “sustainable development principle[s] [being] integrated with development policy,” (Shobeiri et al., 2014). The DOE was also reformed in 1998 to include the Division of Planning and Education. In 1996, Article 46 of the Executive Regulations of the Environmental Protected Law passed, and would “[offer] a National [award] [to] recognize[e] scientific and cultural efforts to expand environmental understanding throughout society,” (Shobeiri et al., 2014). One significant award was given to the Ministry of Education, as their new textbooks "[introduced] environmental topics [using technical, scientific
