The Butterfly Curriculum: Learning to help heal the community of all beings
Shorb, Terril L Prescott College 2009 해외공개박사
This study describes effects of the Sustainable Community Development Program Butterfly Curriculum, first of its kind in the U.S., on students in the Adult Degree Program at Prescott College. The research methodology is a case study involving interviews with eleven graduates. Results are presented in rich description of graduates' experiences of the four realms of the Butterfly Curriculum. These four focal categories include right relationship with the natural world, shrinking the human footprint, restoring social bonds, and enhancing opportunities for learning and celebration of human-to-human and human to-nature connections across the community. This study of a working program in sustainability education provides a detailed reference point and model of an integral approach to authentic sustainable community development and learning.

Nature immersion: A model of sustainability education
Crede, Janice Lynn Prescott College 2009 해외공개박사
Education plays an important role in the way people view their relationship to the natural world. It is important that we include concepts of sustainability in formal education, and my focus is in higher education. People tend to protect that with which they feel most connected, and creating opportunities where people can become immersed in the natural world allows them to feel that connection with nature. A nature immersion model recognizes the value of sustainable pedagogy and emphasizes human reconnection with nature. I believe that a nature immersion model of sustainability education works better than a traditional, Western pedagogical model. To test my hypothesis, I designed and implemented two week-long Leadership in Sustainability seminars, held at a local field station. A pre-seminar self-evaluation, a post-seminar self-evaluation, and a follow-up survey informed my findings and support my theory. This was a mixed methodology study, mainly qualitative in nature, utilizing a constructivist interpretive paradigm and a convenience sample. The findings indicate that a nature immersion model of sustainability education is much more effective than a traditional pedagogical model. Nature immersion was cited by all seminar participants as the single most important factor in the overall success of the seminar and, therefore, student learning. The seminar experience was an important catalyst for the long-term benefit of changing attitudes, behaviors, and lifestyles toward more sustainable living. It motivated participants to take on leadership roles in sustainability and encouraged them to become better stewards of the planet. The experience also enhanced their social relationships and deepened their sense of responsibility toward others. Education must change in a way that first recognizes the value of our innate connections with the natural world, and sustainable education is integral to the process. Because sustainability is trans-disciplinary, this model can easily be translated into other disciplines of study. In fact, it should be incorporated across the curricula of higher education (if not all education) to support a systems approach to thinking and learning about sustainability - a requirement for effective sustainability education to take place.

Population control through the use of immigration law
Ebarb, Henry Anthony Prescott College 2009 해외공개박사
As the United States population reached 300 million in 2006, mostly through immigration, scholars and politicians began to debate whether our continued rate of population growth is desirable. Many employers and some economists project a continuing need for younger low wage workers to support business and fund the Social Security System to provide benefits for an aging population. Many environmentalists believe the U.S. has reached its sustainable carrying capacity and warn that unless we stabilize our growth at the current level we will not leave a viable environment for posterity. Advocates from both extremes of this debate, and those with more centrist views, seek answers to the following question: What do opinions and beliefs of elected officials at the local level (as determined by surveys and interviews) reveal about how federal immigration law might be implemented and enforced in the Quad-Cities Area (Prescott, Prescott Valley, Chino Valley, and Dewey/Humboldt) of Yavapai County, Arizona. Answers to this question may prove useful in considerations regarding future immigration law.
