Environmental Liberation Education offers an easy-to-use, culturally responsive, and student-centered teaching approach to academic engagement and systemic change. It explains social-emotional tools and inquiry practices to discuss, reflect, and act for superdiverse student success, happiness, and global citizenship in a challenging, biodiverse world.

The book presents three Transformative Tools: Diversity Circles to organize, Multicultural Mindfulness to process, and Approach-in-Dimension to assess. The Tools show educators at all levels across disciplines how to reduce bias and make sustainability decisions daily. They empower teachers to develop peace for academic concentration in busy classrooms through a holistic understanding of body, mind, culture, and environment. The book offers a range of classroom-based and professional development exercises for critical consciousness, including mindfulness practices, transformative journal worksheets, cultural actions, and a self-survey to establish a baseline for hands-on diversity, well-being, and sustainability competencies.

Synthesizing multicultural and environmental education through mindfulness practices, Environmental Liberation Education is an invaluable resource for educators-in-training and practicing teachers.
