Abstract
Does “environmental education” only happen in science class or on field trips to the local nature center? What does ecologically oriented teaching in other subject areas look like? This chapter illustrates the practices of two ecologically minded teachers in traditional secondary English classrooms. In each case, the teachers’ ecological beliefs emerged in their intentions for students, in how they orchestrate their classroom environments, and in a variety of curricular aspects.
