NAAEE GUIDELINES FOR EXCELLENCE
Previously, all training about the Guidelines for Excellence was managed at the national level. MAEOE is one of a handful of states that offers this trading at the state level. What does this mean? You can expect more Guidelines workshops, for sure!
We are excited to be able to offer these additional professional development opportunities to support Michigan’s EE community!
The National Project for Excellence in Environmental Education, initiated by North American Association for Environmental Education (NAAEE) in 1994, has developed a series of guidelines that set the standards for high-quality environmental education.
Each of these publications was developed by a diverse team of professionals, and each has gone through a substantive review by thousands of professionals prior to its publication. These guidelines provide systematic guidance for the development of quality environmental education curricula and programs. In addition, these Guidelines have helped the field of environmental education develop credibility within Congress, government agencies, & non-profit organizations across the nation.
The latest versions of the Guidelines for Excellence series are available as free downloadable PDFs or you may purchase hard copies from NAAEE.
