This is a case study research investigated the impact of incorporating Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) into a pre-service teaching course taught in Skidmore College. TEK is the passing of indigenous knowledge about the environment through oral traditions (Tsuji et al., 2002). Through a 1-credit bearing course, 18 Skidmore students were taught the meaning of TEK along with useful pedagogies that allowed them to create their own NYS standard approved TEK lesson plan for their chosen grade level.
