The Conservation and Environmental Science Center for Southern New Jersey (CESC) has developed this manual for college participants in environmental education programs. The program and purposes of the CESC are described in some detail. This manual is designed to be used with college practicum groups who utilize one week of a quarter during the Junior year for education in the out-of-doors. Topics considered in this manual include: (1) advantages of a practicum program; (2) proposed model for an undergraduate training program; (3) regulations for participants; (4) guides and forms to be utilized; (5) origin and purposes of the program; (6) sample lesson plans; (7) a proposed CESC complex; and (8) planning environmental education experiences at a practicum center. An article included in this document written by Frank G. Patterson, "Parents - A Dichotomy Between Dollars and Dreams," provides an environmental instruction plan for the upper elementary or junior high grade level. Related documents are RC 003 788, RC 003 789, RC 003 791, and RC 003 792. (SW)
