Abstract

With the advent of Green Schools in the educational establishment, the theory was advanced that these schools would have a great deal of influence upon student and teacher performance. However, there has been little research conducted using certified Green School because of the paucity of such schools. The National Research Council of the National Academies of Science enlisted a group of scholars to investigate the possible relationship between Green Schools and student achievement. The committee had difficulty finding any research available that addressed the topic. The findings from existing research have produced mixed results. At the same time, research efforts on the relationship between Green Schools and student and teacher performance have slowed and different variables have been employed to try to find out the possible influence upon the users of the Green School. This recent development is encouraged by the US Green Buildings Council, which is developing a new research agenda.
