    Bruce Johnson is Professor of Environmental Learning and Science Education in the Department of Teaching, Learning and Sociocultural Studies and Dean Emeritus in the College of Education at the University of Arizona. Dr. Johnson has a Ph.D. in Education Psychology with a minor in Science Education, an MS in Environmental Education, and a BS in Elementary Education. He was previously an elementary and middle school teacher in Arizona and New Mexico and director of outdoor schools in New Mexico and Australia.

    Dr. Johnson’s research includes the teaching and learning of ecological concepts, development of environmental values/attitudes and actions, and curriculum development. Dr. Johnson teaches in graduate programs in environmental learning and science education and also teaches courses in research design and elementary science methods. He also serves as Director of the Earth Education Research and Evaluation (EERE) Team, which conducts research on children’s ecological understandings, environmental values/attitudes, and environmental actions and has provided evaluation services to centers and schools throughout the United States and in Australia, Bolivia, China, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Nepal, and Spain.

    As International Program Coordinator for The Institute for Earth Education (IEE), Dr. Johnson oversees the development and implementation of earth education programs and leads sessions on earth education around the world. IEE is an international, not-for-profit, educational organization that develops and disseminates earth education programs that are designed to help people live more harmoniously and joyously with the natural world. Earth education programs, including Earthkeepers, Sunship Earth, Sunship III, Lost Treasures, and Rangers of the Earth, have been offered at dozens of centers in Australia, Bolivia, Canada, China, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Slovenia, Taiwan, United Kingdom, and United States.

    Current projects include the newly launched Tucson Regional Educator Collaborative (TREC), a network for educator professional learning; examination of environmental understandings, values, and actions in several different countries; and a new project investigating how environmental learning programs can become more culturally response to their local communities.
