Educators play a critical role in inspiring young people to make a positive impact on the natural environment. National EE Week supports their efforts by providing schools, nature centers, zoos, museums, and aquariums with the resources they need to bring environmental learning into the classroom.

As the nation’s largest environmental education event, National Environmental Education Week (EE Week, April 13-19, 2008) leads the way in inspiring environmental learning and stewardship among American students. Made possible by Canon, EE Week promotes understanding and protection of the natural world by actively engaging K-12th grade students and educators in an inspired week of environmental learning and service before Earth Day.

This year students and teachers will be sizing up their carbon footprints and exploring ways to reduce our impact on the earth. Each registered EE Week partner has access to a wide variety of FREE resources to help curb their carbon footprint, including:

  • Standards-based environmental education lessons and activities, including Climate Change Resources from the Earth Day Network and an online student Carbon Calculator;
  • Monthly e-newsletters highlighting the latest EE lessons and activities, professional development, and funding opportunities; and
  • Opportunities for online communication and knowledge-sharing with educators from across the country, including a special EE Week Photo Blog.

Whether you are a teacher looking to inspire real-world problem-solving in the classroom, a homeschooling parent looking to encourage leadership in your children, or a community leader looking to promote habitat conservation, participating in EE Week is a terrific way to enhance learning and bring about positive change in your schools and community.

Sincerely,
Karen Schultz
National Environmental Education Week Coordinator
