Are you looking to build your background knowledge and skills in environmental education best practices?  Are you a supervisor looking for training opportunities for new or seasonal staff?

This self-paced online course is designed to provide educators with the background knowledge and skills necessary to ground future instruction in environmental education. This is an 8-week course designed to take approximately 12-15 hours to complete. 

During this time, participants will complete five modules with content and assignments that cover:

• The history, definition and purpose of EE.
• Examples and ideas for EE learning environments that are thoughtfully designed, safe, and aligned with best practices in the field. 
• Creating inclusive EE programs.
• Selecting, adapting, and/or developing effective educational materials based on established principles for EE materials.

Although learning is self paced, there is a suggested timeline of completion for each module.
