Ecopsychological Learning Approach (ELA) is a teaching model that can creatively influence the
instructor’s ability to initiate positive change in student’s academic skills. Scholars of
Ecopsychology contend that the lack of connection to Nature stunts the ability of learners to tap
into a creative flow, think critically, and be in balanced health.
Traditional and alternative educators, formal and informal teachers, may ask themselves the
question ―How can I enliven and enhance the presentation of what I want to impart to the
learners so that they can receive this knowledge, improve their skills, be more creative and have
better, healthier lives‖? By utilizing the principles of Ecopsychology and experiences in Nature as
a foundation for learning, a College instructor can help students viscerally understand how they
are connected to the natural environment, the non-human world, and inspire the students to think
more critically, feel more relaxed, and be able to reflect improvements in their academic skills.
This workshop is designed to experience ELA. Participants should be prepared to attend the
entire 3 hours.
