Introduction

Being a practical lecturer at a technical university in Iraq (community health department), I teach student subjects practically in a Lab. and also in manage most of the summer training programs. Education has become the most important and the cornerstone for the transformation and construction of a country, since it corresponds to human resource training and development of creative potential of every human being to the full exercise of their personality. Therefore it is necessary the participation and joint responsibility of all stakeholders in education to who should assume responsibility and commitment to academic and administrative functions within their powers, both internally and educational organizations in the community where anchored schools.

If you want to improve a school system, before altering the rules, observe how they think and how individuals act collectively (Aery, 2010, 124). The members of the school must ensure that their mental models limit their ability to teach, learn, addressing the problems and propose solutions from different perspectives, listening to and respecting the opinion of each.

In the restructuring of educational institutions should also be emphasized the need for training of environmental educators, who in complex scenarios, changing and contradictory, they face many problems that cannot be solved by applying the rules, techniques or routine procedures, mechanical and inflexible; reasons need to develop creativity, reflective thinking and practical. In the above context, environmental education cannot be seen as an isolated subject in the curriculum, but must be integrated into all areas, ie, seen as a transverse axis (Martin and Henderson, 2001, 187). It must also take into account the customs and cultures, linked to experiential situations or coordination with other sectors ...
