EE Resources

There are so many resources available to environmental educators! We have gathered many of our favorites here for your convenience and easy reference.

Environmental Education is Essential

We all think that environmental education is important, but how do you convince funding organizations, reluctant employers, or even people online that what we do matters? Our Environmental Education is Essential page is full of resource links and information to help fuel your arguments for EE in North Carolina and beyond!

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Resource Library

Improving the diversity, equity, and inclusion of environmental education program across North Carolina is am important goal for EENC and many of our members. We have developed a library of resources (many online!) that can help environmental educators everywhere improve their program DEI and make them as accessible to all as possible. Visit our library page for more information on the resources it contains and how to navigate through them.

eeGUIDANCE FOR REOPENING SCHOOLS IN N.C.

Developed in collaboration with the North American Association for Environmental Education (NAAEE), the eeGuidance for Reopening Schools offers dozens of specific strategies for schools and districts to utilize environmental and outdoor education to equitably reopen schools during COVID-19.

State Educational Standards

Drawing teachers and their classes to your site often depends on your aligning your programs to the state educational standards.
