DEVELOP AND IMPROVE YOUR EE RESOURCES AND CURRICULA
Are you looking for resources that will help you design and implement effective environmental education programs?
The National Project for Excellence in Environmental Education, initiated by NAAEE (National Association for Environmental Education) in 1993, has developed a series of Guidelines that set the standards for high-quality environmental education. Each of these publications was developed by a diverse team of professionals, and each has gone through a substantive review by thousands of professionals prior to its publication.
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. 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.
The latest versions of printed materials in the Guidelines for Excellence series are posted on their web site, and you can download them for free here.
Resource Reviews gives you a simple, yet powerful, tool to assess your environmental education programs and materials. Growing out of the Guidelines for Excellence initiative, Resource Reviews is another element in our initiative to build a "culture of quality" in EE, which emphasizes a consistent process to design educationally sound EE materials and programs. There is a small fee for resource reviews depeding upon the complexity of your sbumitted curriculum.
