Importance of the Need or Problem in Education

Justify the Importance of the Need or Problem in Education

 To start with, let’s evaluate who are the stakeholders. Stakeholders are the people who

has a really passionate and a supportive interest in student’s education. They do not only have an

interest in their learning, but they will also demonstrate the same interest in the way schools and

the educational system is performing. Stakeholders sponsors tends to have an emotional impact

on the successes and unsuccessful decisions. The educational stakeholders are parents, students,

members of the schoolboard, school administrators, teachers and the local communities.

Students understand the importance of receiving an education without even realizing that there

are a few major task for designing an environmental education. These task are challenging our

world. These task require the skills that are needed to become critical thinkers and problem

solvers. Environmental education will boost the community awareness and the knowledge

of learning about eco-friendly matters. This matter also signifies an orderly challenged to educate

the real meaning of how students are will be able to reach their greatest performance level while

learning hands-on about the ecosystems in order for survival skills. Therefore, students will be

able to gain an in-depth knowledge of having an environmental education in the schools. This

education will indeed offer students the responsibility of making executive decisions about life

choices. The purpose of this reflection paper is to validate the importance need of arranging an

environmental education that will provide many valuables opportunities for students to get

involved in everyday life issues that exceed outside the walls of the student’s classroom.

The Educational Issues

 It is hard to influence the community to take an interest in learning about what

environment education is really about and how it can really benefit students. If schoolboards

members implement this education into the schools and classrooms we will see the great impact

it would have on students. They enjoy being outside the classroom walls. Nature has always

had a great impact on how students performs. Students learns best outside on the playground.

Students learn better from their peers. An environmental education is environmentally friendly

and it will transform how students are learning in and out of the classrooms (Campbell &

Markel, 1968). Students learn best when they are involved and engaged in hands-on activities.

This teaches them to be more of a problem solver when they are being introduced to a rich print

environment and when they are relating to real life experiences. If you think about student data

and the questions that are place on those standardized test. Half of the students are not able to

pass those test because they have not really been exposed to life experiences and different

materials and terms that are placed on those test. Learning about environment education will

help students to become exposed to many opportunities and might even help close the nation-

wide achievement gap. There are so many positive knowledge that students are able to gain

from having this kind of education in the schools. There have to be a state funding’s that are

require to set aside in order from these programs and education to raise up high and flourish

throughout the states. The schools and staffs are able to do so much. When and if the state

release funding’s for environmental education stakeholders and other local business are willing

to donated towards building environmental education in the schools for students (Rice, 2003).

The shortage of state funds sometimes goes unpromising towards the public school system.

Teacher professional development training will be another challenging task to solve. Schools are

impacted by the state and tax payer dollars to help keep programs opened. Most of the time

schools are able to get government grants from other non-profit organizations. Stakeholders are

needed in so many areas to keep these programs available for students to be academically

successful in school.

The Educational Stakeholder that is Suffering

 There is a great demand for environmental education in the schools. It is a struggle for

administrators to somehow blend environmental matters and other core subjects together.

Teachers and some students dislike changes even if change is for the good. For example,

environmental education will keep students interest and engaged in subjects like science. When

students are more engaged it help close up the achievement gaps and students are able to score

successful on standardized test. The students are the ones suffering the most. There is a great

need for environmental education. This education is environmentally and eco-friendly. It is age

appropriate for all k-12 graders. This education offers an active and engaging learning

environment and it is designed to empower everyone.

Consequences

 There are some cons and consequences of not providing students with environmental

education. Without environmental education students are not being exposed to real world

experiences. Students are not given to opportunity to think about how to solve problems and be

advocates for others. Having the lack of environment education means low performances due to

standardized testing. Students will not know how to apply themselves according to the stem and

steam 21^st Century classrooms. According to (Wigley, 2015), It is very important that teacher

and other stakeholders prepare students to become productive citizens as they go out into the

world. If this problem, continue to be a concern to other the achievement gap will continue to

widen and students will continue to fall through the cracks. This is an issues that will not be

resolve overnight and with the help from communities and other stakeholders, it is surely worth

the fight to provide students with the exposure and opportunity that they will benefit from.

A Wide Range of Stakeholders

 This problem goes beyond the school system. This need involves a multiple of

Stakeholders. Local business that are willing to donate and help establish the environmental

education for many students and schools across the nation. The global effect is all sponsors level

of interest and contribution present a responsibility in the finishing point. It is important that

leadership launch environmental educational program in schools everywhere until the

achievement gaps are closed. Stakeholders in my community are friendly and very supportive

when it comes to student achievement. Every year the Desoto Independent School District strive

to involve the community through the district website and local homecoming parade. Students

and their parents enroll participating and being involved in the local school districts.

Any Similarity Situations

 Every school has its share of challenges and problem that they must tackle in order to get

the students what is needed. Every shareholder has its share of responsibility when it come to

supporting students and their education. Students also have a shared responsibility and must take

ownership in the learning process. This remind me when as I completed my weekly readings for

week one assignment, I remembered reading that leadership must keep the morale high in order

to receive a better outcome from employers and students. Everyone must have the same goal in

mind and must be like-minded professionals in the workplace. This is something that do not

happen overnight. It takes time to gradually change people from their set ways. It is important

that schools keep the community and other stakeholder involved in what is going on in the

schools. It is the stakeholder that is paying taxes.

Involve and Engage Others

 The best way to engage others to participate and get involve in the environmental

educational school system is to reach out to the communities. A word of mouth is the best

advertisement that will go a long way. I would also set up community block parties, meet and

greet cookout, teacher garage sale and most of all an educational workshop. I would send out

updated information concerning open enrollment to families. Learning about other challenge

and coming up with a solution that will allow everyone to work together to meet one goal is the

way to keep stakeholders involved. It will best when students and other see that everyone has

the same mind and strive to help students succeed in all areas of their learning.

In Conclusion

 It is most important that schools grant students the exposure of gaining a variety of

opportunities that will allow them to be successful in their learning process. It is also important

that schools adapt to the environmental education. This education will help close the

achievement gap. The environmental education provides students with a better way to learn

other subjects that they have lost an interest in. This is an issues that students have enjoyed

because it deals with the outside. Students learn best when they are around their peers. There are

benefits and environmental education and it is a need program that are supportive by many

stakeholders in the communities.
