Please Participate: Environmental Ed. Survey
To participate in the survey, go to: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=StHCb35n5k04m2RmE8RIQw_3d_3d
Please take about 10 minutes of your time to complete a very important educator survey designed to reveal your current needs and constraints to teaching environmental education (EE) inside the classroom and outdoors.
The survey was developed by the California Environmental Education Foundation (CEEF) in order to accomplish one of its highest priorities, namely, to support the CREEC Network in disseminating premier EE resources and services to California's K-12 educators.
The Survey results will be made available at the 2008 CSTA Conference, and will also be posted on the CREEC website at http://www.creec.org. The Survey data will be used by CEEF to determine its programmatic and funding priorities as it strives to implement the six strategic initiatives identified in the California's state plan for environmental education entitled: Education and the Environment: Strategic Initiatives for Enhancing Education in California (available at http://www.creec.org/stories/storyReader$198.)
To participate in the survey, go to: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=StHCb35n5k04m2RmE8RIQw_3d_3d
