Environmental Education

Title: Teachers Set to Learn the Ropes of Environmental Education

This article talks about what the state of California did to prepare for the celebration of Earth Day on Friday, April 22nd. The California Regional Environmental Education Community (CREEC)and the Santa Cruz County Office of Education organized and scheduled an Environmental Education Resource Fair. Over 25 organizations from 4 California counties had tables at the event, ranging from large government agencies like the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to smaller organizations like Save the Frogs. The event was open to local educators, public, private, and home school to give them ideas and tools to enhance their environmental education curriculum for kindergarten through 12th grades. The last event like this in the Californian region attracted a few hundred teachers.
