Abstract: One voice and perspective that is still largely absent from the curriculum development discussion is that of students, elementary school children in particular. This reflexive account will discuss in depth how the use of various qualitative research methods in an elementary school classroom enabled teachers, a community-based environmental organization, a university research team, and several classrooms of children to create a child-informed, child-centered multicultural environmental education [EE] curriculum. 98 child participants from three elementary schools in five grade 4 to 6 classrooms were involved in the project.
