&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;How are your students making a difference to their local environment through &lt;STRONG&gt;action projects&lt;/STRONG&gt;?&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;How do these projects support &lt;STRONG&gt;standards based learning objectives&lt;/STRONG&gt;?&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;How do the action projects affect &lt;STRONG&gt;student learning, self-esteem, sense of responsibility&lt;/STRONG&gt;, and other important things?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;B style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"&gt;&lt;U&gt;We need you&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/B&gt; to share your action project plans with us so they can become part of the San Diego Environmental Literacy Action (SanDELA) Guide- a resource that will be valuable to other educators.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;Share your Environmental Action Plans so that others can replicate your success.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;What are we looking for?&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;We want to document successful projectsthat demonstrate integrating environmental action into K-12 studies in a variety of disciplines.&amp;nbsp; &lt;A href="http://wwwStatic.kern.org/gems/region9a/SanDELAExample.pdf "&gt;Click here to see a template and short example of an entry.&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp; (Adobe .pdf file)&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;B style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"&gt;What&#146;s in it for me?&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;U&gt;If&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; your project is selected to be included in the SanDELA Guide, AND you fulfill the participation requirements (answering follow-up information requests by deadlines), you will receive an honorarium of $500.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;B style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"&gt;How do I submit my action plan?&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt 39pt; TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 39.0pt"&gt;&lt;FONT face=Symbol&gt;*&lt;/FONT&gt;You will also be asked to review the final write up prior to publication.&lt;/P&gt;

			<description>&lt;OL style="MARGIN-TOP: 0in" type=1&gt;
&lt;LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in"&gt;What kinds of projects are eligible? 
&lt;OL style="MARGIN-TOP: 0in" type=a&gt;
&lt;LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo1; tab-stops: list 1.0in"&gt;Any project that involves STUDENT ACTION related to environmental topics, and connects the actions to learning activities.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;Projects might be stormwater pollution prevention, native plant gardens, restoring a natural area near the school, a public education campaign, or a recycling program.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;We are looking forward to a wide variety of creative submissions, so please do not limit yourself to these topics!&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;
&lt;LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in"&gt;What kinds of projects are not eligible? 
&lt;OL style="MARGIN-TOP: 0in" type=a&gt;
&lt;LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo1; tab-stops: list 1.0in"&gt;Projects with no student action component are not eligible.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;Projects with religious or political bias are not eligible.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;
&lt;LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in"&gt;Can I submit (and receive an honorarium for) more than one project? 
&lt;OL style="MARGIN-TOP: 0in" type=a&gt;
&lt;LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo1; tab-stops: list 1.0in"&gt;At this time we are only able to make one award to an individual.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;This policy could be revised in the future depending on the volume of high quality submissions.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;So go ahead and submit more than one project if you wish.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;
&lt;LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in"&gt;My project is used for multiple grade levels, is that okay? 
&lt;OL style="MARGIN-TOP: 0in" type=a&gt;
&lt;LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo1; tab-stops: list 1.0in"&gt;That is fine, simply indicate the grade levels in your submission.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;
&lt;LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in"&gt;I have a fantastic project idea and plan, but I haven&#146;t used it with students yet- can I still submit it? 
&lt;OL style="MARGIN-TOP: 0in" type=a&gt;
&lt;LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo1; tab-stops: list 1.0in"&gt;Yes, you may submit it.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;
&lt;LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in"&gt;Do I have to align my project to the CA Standards and EEI Principles and Concepts? 
&lt;OL style="MARGIN-TOP: 0in" type=a&gt;
&lt;LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo1; tab-stops: list 1.0in"&gt;No, SanDELA staff will create an alignment, and we will ask you to review it.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;If you have aligned your project, that&#146;s great and we&#146;ll have you submit it.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;
&lt;LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in"&gt;Do I have to research the field trip/guest speaker/resource section? 
&lt;OL style="MARGIN-TOP: 0in" type=a&gt;
&lt;LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo1; tab-stops: list 1.0in"&gt;No, SanDELA staff will create a list, and we will ask you to review it.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;If you have a list or ideas your project, that&#146;s great and we&#146;ll have you submit them.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;
&lt;LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in"&gt;I think that I have a project to submit but I&#146;m not sure it&#146;s a &#147;fit&#148;. 
&lt;OL style="MARGIN-TOP: 0in" type=a&gt;
&lt;LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo1; tab-stops: list 1.0in"&gt;The submission form is not lengthy so you may just want to enter your project.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;Or, you can send an email to Adrienne Marriott, email clickable at left, to get an opinion on your idea.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;
&lt;LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in"&gt;How will I know if submissions are still being accepted for my grade level(s)? 
&lt;OL style="MARGIN-TOP: 0in" type=a&gt;
&lt;LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo1; tab-stops: list 1.0in"&gt;Any grade levels that are complete (do not require further submissions) will be listed here.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

			<title>SanDELA</title>
			<description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size=4&gt;San Diego Environmental Literacy in Action&lt;/FONT&gt; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;A project funded by the US Environmental Protection Agency to develop a comprehensive K-12 guidebook of class-wide environmental education themes and projects. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Interested in sharing and developing resources for environmental action projects?&amp;nbsp; SanDELA is seeking K-12 teachers with an interest in the environment to assist in creating a San Diego Environmental Action guidebook.&amp;nbsp; This guidebook will present a framework for teachers at each grade level to examine a San Diego environmental issue and address it with an action project.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;At the 1 day workshop you will learn about critical San Diego environmental issues; then use your creativity, experience, and a library of existing resources to outline an action project and point to curricular integrations (you are not expected to create new curriculum in one day!).&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Qualified applicants will be teaching in a San Diego County school (public or private), and will preferably have experience with environmental education and/or project design.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Benefits of Participation:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;*&amp;nbsp; $200 stipend.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;*&amp;nbsp; Substitute costs for orientation/work session are paid.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Time Commitment:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;*&amp;nbsp; Attend a 1-day orientation and work session on May 1, June 18, or June 28&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;*&amp;nbsp; Evaluate/field test/revise grade level draft environmental action unit.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Click on the &lt;A href=" http://wwwStatic.kern.org/gems/region9a/SanDELAtemplateandexample.pdf "&gt;TEMPLATE&lt;/A&gt; to see what format and type of grade-level action plan you'll be creating.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Click on the TEMPLATE EXAMPLE to see a draft of a grade level plan. (coming soon)&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Apply&amp;nbsp;Soon! &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Please email Adrienne Marriott with questions (clickable email at left).&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="http://fs6.formsite.com/creec9a/form945081934/index.html"&gt;Fill out an application form online&lt;/A&gt; or &lt;A href="http://wwwstatic.kern.org/gems/region9a/MicrosoftWordSanDELAflyerand.pdf"&gt;download the pdf and return via fax.&lt;/A&gt; &lt;/P&gt;</description>

			<description> &lt;br&gt;&lt;h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;FAQ's&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is CREEC? What is SanDCREEC?&lt;/b&gt; CREEC is the California Regional Environmental Education Community. It is a project of the Office of Environmental Education at the California Department of Education. The state of California is divided into numerous CREEC regions. The purpose of CREEC is to serve as a network hub for information related to environmental education. It can be considered a "one stop shop" for environmental education needs ranging from a teacher looking for a great curriculum, to a student looking for an internship. SanDCREEC is the San Diego and Imperial County CREEC region (that's region 9a). Historically the focus has been on the San Diego region, but at this time we are working to form a viable network in Imperial county. &lt;/p&gt;

			<title>Tips - How to build your CREEC website</title>
			<description>The first place to check when you need help is the &lt;b&gt;HELP &lt;/b&gt; button in the editors line directly above...see it?  It will take you to the Manila Newbies tutorial website to guide you through the ins and outs of understanding this easy web authoring system.  Check out &lt;a href="http://manilanewbies.userland.com/usersguide/appendixa/htmloverview"&gt; the html page&lt;/a&gt; for help with the html tags normal people can't remember.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sometimes we CREEC Coordinators just need a little reminder.  When you push the &lt;b&gt;edit this page &lt;/b&gt; button below, you'll be able to see some common tags.  Cut the little formula and paste it in the page you are building.  Check out &lt;a href="http://manilanewbies.userland.com/usersguide/"&gt; the html formula website&lt;/a&gt; for a quick tutorial regarding html tags.
---
***Linking&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Websites are all about links, and the CREEC website makes it easy to do.  
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The &lt;b&gt;Add Link &lt;/b&gt; button at the top toolbar will link to an outside website.  
&lt;li&gt;The title of any page within your CREEC website becomes an automatic link when you write that title on put it in &lt;b&gt;quotation marks.&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The &lt;b&gt;Shortcuts &lt;/b&gt; button at the top of the page also makes it easy!  
&lt;li&gt;Sample of an email link: &lt;A href="mailto:croyer@mail.slocs.k12.ca.us"&gt;Celeste Royer&lt;/A&gt;   &lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Sample linking to another website: &lt;A href="http://www.creec.org/region8"&gt;Region 8 CREEC&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
---
***FONTS - Type Styles, Colors, Size, and Lists:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Offset bulleted or numbered lists are mad by putting the letters ul (unordered list) in brackets, then stopping the list by placing ul after the slash in brackets. &lt;br&gt;
Bulleted lists then need li (for list) in brackets before each bulleted item.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt; Bold:  &lt;b&gt;bold&lt;/b&gt;.  Three asterisks before a word or line will also make it bold... like ***this! &lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt; Italic: &lt;i&gt;italic&lt;/i&gt;      &lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt; Underline: &lt;u&gt;underline&lt;/u&gt;   &lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt; To change the font face, you need to put the title of the font in brackets like this: &lt;font face="Courier New"&gt;Courier New&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;, &lt;font face="Verdana"&gt;Verdana&lt;/font&gt;, and so on...
&lt;li&gt; Colors:  &lt;font color="red"&gt;RED&lt;/font&gt;, &lt;font color="blue"&gt;BLUE   &lt;/font&gt;   &lt;font color="green"&gt;GREEN&lt;/font&gt;  &lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt; Not enough color choices?  Check out &lt;A href="http://manilanewbies.userland.com/colors "&gt;this page&lt;/A&gt; for more!  Just put the name of the color you like into the equation.
&lt;li&gt; Font Size:
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;FONT size=+1&gt;Plus One&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;font color="tomato"&gt;&lt;FONT size=+2&gt;Plus Two&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;font color="darkolivegreen"&gt;&lt;FONT size=+3&gt;Plus Three&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;</description>

			<title>FAQ and Links</title>
			<description>&lt;b&gt;1.  What is CREEC?  What is SanDCREEC?&lt;/b&gt;
CREEC is the California Regional Environmental Education Community.  It is a project of the Office of Environmental Education at the California Department of Education.  The state of California is divided into numerous CREEC regions.  The purpose of CREEC is to serve as a network hub for information related to environmental education.  It can be considered a "one stop shop" for environmental education needs ranging from a teacher looking for a great curriculum, to a student looking for an internship.
&lt;p&gt;SanDCREEC is the San Diego and Imperial County CREEC region (that's region 9a).  Historically the focus has been on the San Diego region, but at this time we are working to form a viable network in Imperial county.
&lt;/p&gt;
