WCEE Professional Development Calendar


The Wisconsin Center for Environmental Education offers a variety of professional development opportunities for educators to expand their knowledge of sustainability, energy, and forestry related topics. Both workshops without credit and courses for university credit are available. 

Many of these courses focus on one or more of the 9 focus areas of Green & Healthy Schools Wisconsin.

Green & Healthy Schools Wisconsin

Green & Healthy Schools Workshops
 
Workshops are provided for school teams (up to 4 people each) to learn about how to receive Green & Healthy School certification and recognition. Limit 40 participants.

Ideally, schools teams would include a teacher, an administrator, a facility staff member, and a school board or community member. The teams will be provided with an expense stipend after the workshop of $100 per team member (up to 4) to be used to cover expensing of attending the workshop (substitute fees, mileage, etc.) or expenses related to Green & Healthy Schools efforts.

Additional workshops are being scheduled in the fall of 2013. Please check back for more details.
