KATHRYN STACK

At Large Board Member 2011 to 2013

Kathryn’s goals for NAAEE:
I support NAAEE’s mission to teach people how to think about the environment, not what to think. I also support the use of high-quality teaching methods to demonstrate how to make a difference in the world through a positive, non-confrontational approach. Environmental education fosters learning that can transform how we think, make decisions, and lead our lives. The future depends on our collective ability to apply an integrated approach to teaching and helping students understand the interrelated elements of sustainable environmental systems—from ecological, economical, and community perspectives.
