Interpretive Blog #2: Embracing Environmental Education: A Passionate Journey Toward Teaching and Sustainability

After much consideration of the variety of different environmental interpreter job opportunities to select from, I would choose to become an environmental educator. Since the young age of four years old, I have looked up to my mother and dreamed of filling her shoes of being an elementary school teacher, which is why I believe that being an educator of the environment would be a very interesting and providing opportunity. This job would entail a variety of smaller jobs and tasks within itself. Some may include formulating and delivering a wide variety of different educational programs, classes and outdoor learning opportunities surrounding the topic of nature and sustainability to large groups of students either in schools, summer camps, or community groups. I would aim to create videos and online content for the public to access if they are not able to physically attend but still wish to learn more about the natural world, and to offer training courses for those hoping to also become an environmental educator.

Last summer at my cottage. People who chose to do the online courses I would offer could learn from the comfort of a location including their cottage!

This job would provide me with the opportunity to educate others which I have always wanted to do at the same time as spending ample time focusing and taking care of nature- one of my favourite “locations”. This could take place at an outdoor education centre, community centre, or in school classrooms, depending on the members who have signed up. I can vividly remember our class visiting for class trips growing up, whether it was ziplining, tapping trees for sap, learning about how to make maple syrup, learning about different types of leaves and plants, but more importantly, steps we can take to save our planet and make it a more environmentally friendly place, cutting back on the harsh emissions that are speeding up global warming and climate change. A variety of skills would be required in order to thrive in this position. Some include excellent communication skills, a high level of knowledge about the environment or maybe even environmental science, initiative to create and present these classes, responsibility and organization to keep dates, names, topics and information orderly, creativity to cultivate and brainstorm the learning materials, problem-solving skills, teamwork or collaboration, and most importantly, a strong passion for the environment itself. It is crucial to ensure you select a profession that you are passionate about and enjoy doing as if you do not, it will make for a long lifetime of doing a job you despise and speaking from experience, it is harder to learn from someone who is not passionate and caring about the information they are teaching, as they do not truly care about what they are providing. I use my mother as an example every time- a school teacher who loves her job is passionate about it and has never complained. She finds ways to look forward to working by making her job interesting and fun for herself. She has a love for children and helping others as do I, which is why I hope to only be a portion of my mother when I am older. Since I am passionate about the environment and teaching others, I feel that being an environmental educator would be a profession I would thrive in. In this week’s unit, we learned about the different types of learners- auditory, visual, and tactile. I believe the environment and being within nature, where these courses would be offered, provides an opportunity for all kinds of learners. Auditory learners can listen to the breeze, the crunch of the leaves, and the sound of birds chirping. Visual learners could see all that nature has to offer while also following instructions that instructors would be offering, and lastly- tactile learners could learn by doing the activities themselves and seeing and experiencing all that is being done. We learned of the importance of considering who we are as an interpreter, who our audience is, and how we can make these experiences meaningful for all involved. While preparing the content for these courses, I would take all of these important factors into consideration.

Helpful for learners:

How to communicate a new concept effectively? (How the human mind likes it)

Context:

Always provide context for everything you are about to talk about in connection to these questions-

-Why we need to know this?

-How does this co-relate to the grander scheme of things?

-How and where will this information benefit me?

Never take the context for granted. Give it its due share, and even if its kept short, it’s best not to skip it

Introduction:

When you begin, arouse curiosity in the topic to create a receptive audience. Start with something that is known and is simple to understand. Don’t deep dive into unknown territory immediately. Give the mind time to adapt and trek into the unknown terrain slowly and gradually.

Visualize it:

The concept or idea being described should take on a certain shape or form in the mind of the individual. It can be different from the way you visualize it. However, your words should arouse simultaneous images or symbolic representations in the mind’s eye of the recipient in order to fully grasp a concept, otherwise it is just something vague and abstract. Also, there needs to be a sequence or smooth transition from one point to another to form this picture in the mind’s eye. Sudden transgressions or jumping from topic to topic without forming connections/tying up loose ends can lead to confusion and disruptions in understanding the concepts.

Register:

The orally spoken words should register in the minds of the recipient, in a way that they are easy to repeat and comprehend. The language and vocabulary used should be replicable in the mind of the recipient on listening. They should follow through what is being said and not get stuck or lost at point where communication barriers pop up. Even if they translate it in their own head or make sense of it in their own way, it’s important that the information registers with them.

Wrap up:

The closing statements should have a general overview and revision of everything covered in the discussion. This allows for a complete understanding and assimilation of a concept. It also prepares the mind to come back to the moment and return to regular thought.

Feedback:

The communication from sender to receiver is not linear. It’s not as passive as it seems. The receiver is consciously engaging with the ideas and participating in the process of responding to the speaker, not just by listening, but by registering correctly what has been sent. The uninterrupted receiving by the listener to the depth of their being, completes the communication process. The feedback loop is hence accomplished when if you ask the audience to repeat what is said/express their piece of mind, they respond in a way that shows that they are on the same page as you.
