ASCD 68th Annual Conference
March 16 2013
Center for Ecoliteracy communications director Lisa Bennett and executive director Thena Robinson-Mock, J.D., of the Rethinkers student group in New Orleans will present at the 68th annual conference of ASCD in Chicago March 16–18.
Their multimedia, interactive session, based on the Center's 2012 book Ecoliterate: How Educators Are Cultivating Emotional, Social, and Ecological Intelligence, will present an inspiring new model of education that takes the cultivation of emotional and social intelligence as its foundation and extends it outward to integrate ecological intelligence.
Participants will receive examples of classroom experiences that foster the five practices of ecoliteracy described in the book, coauthored with Daniel Goleman, bestselling author of Emotional Intelligence and Social Intelligence.
