Abstract
In 2010, the Common Core State Standards provided an opportunity for states throughout the nation to prepare their students equally for the real world environment. South Carolina is one of the 46 states that voluntarily adopted the new standards and is currently in the process of implementation. The national No Child Left Inside act passed in 2011 with the hopes to integrate environmental education throughout all subjects taught in schools (Chesapeake Bay Foundation, 2012). The goal of environmental education is to increase environmental awareness and concern for the environment as well as to foster positive environmental behaviors. This paper discusses ways to implement environmental education into the new Common Core Standards in hopes to create an environmentally literate society.
