California is currently poised to lead the nation in environmental literacy. The California Environmental Protection Agency (Cal/EPA) and the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) are actively engaged in the implementation of the Education and the Environment Initiative (EEI) pursuant to AB 1548 (Pavley, Chapter 665, Statutes of 2003) and AB 1721 (Pavley, Chapter 581, Statutes of 2005). Heal the Bay, a non-profit environmental organization and the bill'sponsor, has joined the state's leadership team. These landmark environmental education laws mandate the development of a unified strategy to bring education about the environment into California's primary and secondary schools. Other current key partners include the Office of the Secretary for Education, State Board of Education, the Department of Education, and the California Resources Agency.
The Model Curriculum will be an interdisciplinary program that teaches the California State Standards to mastery, providing an alternate strategy to teach the standards using the environment as an integrating context for learning.You can also visit the Cal EPA website for more information http://www.calepa.ca.gov/education/eei
