NAAEE Guidelines for Excellence: Best Practices in EE |
The National Project for Excellence in Environmental Education, initiated by the North American Association for Environmental Education (NAAEE) in 1994, has developed a series of guidelines that sets the standard for high-quality environmental education. Each of these publications was developed by a diverse team of professionals, and each has gone through a substantive review by thousands of professionals prior to its publication. Through the National Project for Excellence in Environmental Education, NAAEE is taking the lead in establishing guidelines for the development of balanced, scientifically accurate, and comprehensive environmental education programs and materials. Quality environmental education programs help develop an environmentally literate citizenry who can compete in our global economy; have the skills, knowledge, and inclinations to make well-informed choices; and exercise the rights and responsibilities of members of a community. |
