Leading the Way to Environmental Literacy and Quality: National Guidelines for Environmental Education (2006)

Abstract

Ed McCrea, former executive director of North American Association for Environmental Education, calls the development of the environmental education guidelines the single most important event that has occurred in the field of environmental education in the last decade. For the first time in its history, environmental education has a set of tools that promotes unity, a common language, and the professionalization of the field.

The Guidelines grew from NAAEE’s desire to ensure that environmental education was a part of the national standards movement. But most of all, the guidelines offer a way to ensure that environmental education materials, programs, and practitioners are of the highest possible quality.

Are you or is your state using the Guidelines? Are you a part of this quiet revolution?
