"Our New Wisconsin Promise advances a
well-educated citizenry as the foundation of our
strong democracy and healthy economy. Our students must be prepared to participate
in the social, economic and civic life of their
community, and cultural and environmental literacy
are central to being good citizens in our 21st
century interconnected world. Programs promoted by the Wisconsin
Environmental Education Board (WEEB) contribute to
our efforts by promoting global and environmental
literacy, and environmental stewardship. While learning about the environment through
WEEB programs, students often perform even better
because they feel empowered, are actively engaged in
their own learning, and are challenged to make
decisions about the environment |

Traveling to schools and
communities across our state, I see students
learning the importance of being good stewards of
our environment. Environmental literacy is
fundamental to the future well-being of our state
and is grounded in our state�s history of
environmental stewardship, a lasting legacy of
Gaylord Nelson�s lifework. The partnership and
collaboration between the Department of Public
Instruction and the Wisconsin Environmental
Education Board helps to promote a quality
environmental education for every child in
Wisconsin."
