Two members of the Educator focus group did express some concern that there is going to be a lot of red tape (Janice) and logistical issues (Sara) in terms of connecting school gardens to school cafeterias. The author made 100% of the contributions to the current work. Improving the definition of GBL has implications for theories of teaching and learning. Specifically, the model suggests three spectrums of student engagement to consider including in building and program design: (1) formal to informal, (2) passive to active, and (3) individual to collective. The first is that attitudes and values about green buildings are not likely to change rapidly for building users. These knowledge domains are not simply about buildings as objects, however; the framework conceives green buildings as cultural artifacts that intersect with themes of economy, social justice, and esthetics. These factors are: public perception, price, policies, psychological, physical and personal.

Green building literacy (GBL) is the term used here to describe the hoped-for outcome of green building education [which falls within the larger movement for public built environment education (e.g., Portillo & Rey-Barreau, 1995)]. Her Ph.D. work was in the combined areas of Architecture and Natural Resources and Environment. Children & Youth Environments, 25(3), 145174. It brought together stakeholders and experts engaged in the green building sector, both locally and nationally, to brainstorm and provide their inputs to develop the draft framework for green buildings in the commercial and institutional sectors for Kochi. The framework presented here incorporates multiple dimensions of green building knowledge (factual, conceptual, and procedural), where previous work has not considered various knowledge domains (i.e., those inspired by Bloom, Engelhart, Furst, Hill, & Krathwohl, 1956) and how these different kinds of knowledge relate to green building education. No part of this book may be reproduced in any formor by any means without written permission from the editors. Higgs, A. L., & McMillan, V. M. (2006). Adding the notion of green building literacy (GBL) to the crowded field of literacies is not an exercise to take lightly. The Major features of green building literacy are presented in the next section followed by a summary of the three major themes that arose in the focus group settings in reaction to the frameworks. The PEs in ETS1 additionally require rich overlaps between technical, social, and environmental domains such as the middle school Standard MS-ETS1-1: Define the criteria and constraints of a design problem with sufficient precision to ensure a successful solution, taking into account relevant scientific principles and potential impacts on people and the natural environment that may limit possible solutions (MS-ETS1-1).
