International Opportunities for Educators
Global Environmental Teachings (GET)
About GET
Since 2004, GET has offered over 10 international experiences in
China, Puerto Rico, South Africa, and Wisconsin for educators. Located
within the Wisconsin Center for Environmental Education in the College
of Natural Resources at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, GET
aims to advance global environmental literacy through K-12 teachers.
Global Environmental Teachings (GET) is a non-profit organization
dedicated to the advancement of global environmental literacy. The goals
of GET are accomplished through innovative educational programs using a
combination of computer technology and travel courses to elevate
awareness and knowledge about environmental education among diverse
populations. GET brings the world to the classroom by helping educators
and students address questions like: How do some teachers in China teach
about the environment? What do educators in South Africa do to address
water issues with their students? This program takes the classroom
beyond state and national boundaries to the global arena. Participants
learn how others interact with their environment while gaining a
different perspective on environmental, political, and social issues.
