DIY Professional Learning for Environmental Educators

Learn About Research-informed Best Practices in the Guidelines for Excellence in EE

Picture
EEA promotes best practices in environmental education through the Georgia Guidelines for Excellence in EE Project, which offers professional learning workshops, self-paced courses (currently in development), and technical assistance to schools, environmental education providers, and others. The Guidelines project was created by NAAEE and coordinated by Bora Simmons, with feedback from all over the world. Read or download copies of each set of the Guidelines by clicking the sections below.

Help Students Solve Environmental Problems with GREAT Projects

High school students studying environmental science are often distressed and disengaged when learning about negative human impacts on the Earth. Research shows that an antidote to this despair can be found in graduated challenges that allow students to identify and solve bite-sized, real-world problems. "Project-based learning" (PBL) empowers students to make a difference in the world. Captain Planet Foundation offers a storyline-style, scaffolded approach to PBL called GREAT Project Pathways that incorporates phenomenon-based, three-dimensional learning and offers students "voice and choice" in designing and directing the work.

Brush up on Content Knowledge in Environmental Education Topics

Bozeman Science and The Wonder of Science websites, created by science teacher Paul Andersen, provide short videos explaining every topic taught in environmental science, as well as core ideas related to each Next Generation Science Standard (NGSS) at every grade level. [Although Georgia did not adopt the NGSS, there is substantial overlap in topics and content.]
