Welcome

Welcome to Lauren Madden’s Elementary Science Education Site.

I am a professor at The College of New Jersey in the Elementary and Early Childhood Education Department, and the coordinator of the Environmental Sustainability Education Minor and graduate certificate for practicing teachers. We are proud to announce that the ESE minor is the first in New Jersey to receive accreditation by the North American Association for Environmental Education.  The focus of my teaching and research is to advocate for scientific literacy and the health of our planet through teaching and learning.
