 Purpose
The purpose of the 2005 EETAP Leadership Clinic is to broaden support to state and provincial environmental education capacity building teams. The clinic agenda is participant-driven around the needs of teams and individuals. Representatives of the eight EETAP States and national partners will share their experiences developing critical EE initiatives that:

1) "Raise the bar" on the quality and amount of EE training

  • EE Certification
  • Preservice EE Training
  • Regional Delivery Networks

2) Increase outreach and access to EE

  • Programs that Target Culturally Diverse Communities
  • Searchable Online EE Directories

3) Develop leadership and community within the EE field

  • Comprehensive Statewide EE Plans
  • Sustainable EE Associations
  • Teacher and Teacher Trainer Networks

This gathering of EE leaders will increase our collective understanding and application of strategies to achieve effective EE programs and ultimately environmental literacy and stewardship.
