	REQUIRED ABSTRACT Limit to space provided.
The ten public school districts geographically located within the CESA 100 region have been integrating environmental education into their curricula for the past decade. Unfortunately they have not had the financial resources to assess student environmental literacy. This project would use the “Environmental Survey of Wisconsin High School Students” that was first administered by the Wisconsin Center for Environmental Education in 1994 as an assessment tool to investigate the environmental literacy of the 3000 students who make up the junior classes of the ten school districts. Results would provide a baseline set of data, form the foundation upon which future curriculum alterations would be based (to address deficiencies found), and through a comparison of the results of students attending schools with various levels of programming in place provide a means to report on the current status of environmental education within each school district. Information will be shared via CESA 100 website and presentation at the fall 2009 Wisconsin Association for Environmental Education (WAEE) annual conference. Project evaluation will be done via a survey of district curriculum directors.
