How do we equip environmental educators with the knowledge, skills, and vision needed to tackle today's most pressing environmental challenges?
At ºÚÁÏÉçÇø, we recognize that environmental education requires educators to integrate multiple disciplines, balance varied perspectives, and guide learners through complex issues that demand both intellectual rigor and emotional intelligence. Through a range of professional development tools and opportunities, environmental educators can foster the cultural competence, innovative thinking, and collaborative skills they need to deliver high-quality programming and advance environmental literacy, civic engagement, and health and well-being in their communities.
