Calling all classroom teachers, curriculum coaches, and school/district administrators!

 

The Environmental Educators of North Carolina and its partners with the Southeastern Environmental Education Alliance are excited to announce the launch of Phase 2 of our landscape analysis of environmental education efforts in eight southeastern states. And we want to hear from you! 

 

This survey, which should take you less than 20 minutes to complete, will allow us to assess the scope, strategies, and resources being used in schools across the southeast to build environmental literacy in students. It will help us – and you! – determine gaps and barriers to EE implementation in schools, and it will enable us to make recommendations that can help you infuse EE into formal education settings.

 

Furthermore, the project can benefit you and your school by helping to build partnerships between individual formal and nonformal educators at the community level to support ongoing active and social learning, networking, and idea exchange. AND it can bolster collective impact at the state-level while helping your school district advance the environmental literacy of your students.

 

To thank you for your time, you’ll be entered into a drawing for one of 120 $25 gift cards to the Outdoor Learning Store upon submitting the survey.
