FAQ
What is the CREEC Network?
The California Regional Environmental Education Community (CREEC)
Network is a program of the California Department of Education,
specifically the Office of Environmental Education. It was established
to make links between providers of environmental education and the
teachers who use it. The ultimate goal of the CREEC Network is to
enhance the environmental literacy of students.
What does it actually do?
Regional coordinators gather and evaluate the environmental education
opportunities in their local region (see the regional map on the home
page). They make this information available to teachers in a variety of
ways. As "conduits of information" these coordinators strive to help
teachers by linking them to the most effective workshops, speakers,
curriculum, outings, etc.
How will it help me as a teacher?Teachers with questions regarding environmental education and local
resources can expect quick personal response from their CREEC Network
Coordinators. The regional CREEC websites will guide you to a directory
of resources in your area.
