ISSUES & INITIATIVES
Guidelines for Excellence in Environmental Education Resources
The North American Association for Environmental Education (NAAEE) developed the Guidelines for Excellence in consultation with educators and experts. Six sets of guidelines are available. Each set of guidelines can be downloaded as a free PDF.
"Through the National Project for Excellence in Environmental Education, NAAEE is taking the lead in establishing guidelines for the development of balanced, scientifically accurate, and comprehensive environmental education programs and materials. Quality environmental education programs help develop an environmentally literate citizenry that can compete in our global economy; has the skills, knowledge, and inclinations to make well-informed choices; and exercises the rights and responsibilities of members of a community."
Guidelines for Excellence in EE Training
Guidelines for Excellence in EE Workshops
EEA was selected by NAAEE to train facilitators and offer workshops that are designed to advance excellence in the field of environmental education. From time to time, EEA will offer individual workshops or the entire series of six Guidelines workshops to EEA members, K-12 teachers, and non-formal educators.
Guidelines in ATEEG
The Guidelines for Excellence in EE are also incorporated into EEA's certification courses for educators, known as ATEEG.
New Online Course
EEA is creating an online course on the Guidelines for Excellence in EE materials. This self-paced course will be available for beta testing in November 2020. Interested educators who would like to be among the first to take the course and review it may contact EEA Executive Director Karan Wood.
Revision of EE Guidelines Materials
A committee of EEA members recently reviewed the eight-year-old Guidelines for Excellence in EE materials and made recommendations regarding revisions. Thank you to the following people for the expertise and time they devoted to this project:
