National Project for Excellence in EE’s Director Bora Simmons, and NAAEE Guidelines Writing Team Leader Michele Archie provide a personal introduction to NAAEE’s just-published Community Engagement Guidelines in the May edition of our monthly webinar series.
Community Engagement: Guidelines for Excellence describes five key characteristics of effective community engagement. Case studies, drawn from the field of environmental education, are also included to illustrate how key ideas can be implemented.
Do you teach environmental education at a college or university? Are you responsible for designing staff development?

Each resource provides background information, an agenda for an all day workshop, activities and worksheets/handouts.
