Abstract: Concept mapping, a student-driven assessment tool, is used to compare student attitudes toward conventional school and the Community Environmental Leadership Programme (CELP), an integrated outdoor semester for 11th graders that develops community skills, environmental awareness, leadership, and responsibility. Although pre-CELP concept maps reflected cross-spectrum negativity, post-CELP maps reflected a sense of promise and empowerment. (TD)
