The Guidelines for Excellence is a series of materials to help environmental educators hone their practice and programs to national standards for high-quality EE programming. This workshop will focus on the K-12 Environmental Education Guidelines publication.
This workshop is for educators (formal, nonformal, and higher education) want to learn more about:
- What environmental literacy is and how to explain the value of environmental literacy.
- What environmental literacy should look like by the end of grades 4, 8 and 12.
- How to connect these Guidelines to your EE instructional materials and NC curriculum standards.
Facilitators: Corey Sperling and Breanna Walker
Format: In-person. All participants will need to bring their own personal snacks and lunch. A refrigerator and microwave are available.
Maximum 25 students. Note: EENC will begin opening fewer spots than this, with the hope of continuing to open additional spaces, per safety considerations, until we reach this maximum as we get closer - so if the spaces are full, be sure to join the waitlist!
Counts for 7 hours of Criteria I or continuing education credit for the NC DEQ EE Certificate.
Registration: $15 for EENC members, $20 for general registration.
Note: Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation follows all CDC guidelines and Governor’s orders. Participants are expected to wear a mask indoors at all times and outdoors if social distancing guidelines cannot be met. Participants may be less than 6’ apart during an outdoor program. At that time, we will ask everyone to wear a mask. If you cannot, you will be asked to stand more than 6’ away.
