Partnership for 21st Century Skills. This group has developed a vision for student success in the new global economy. This is by no means an environmental group – yet this multi-stakeholder organization has identified environmental literacy, global awareness, and civic literacy as three of their top five themes for students - excellent evidence for the work you try to do as an environmental educator! Visit their website at http://www.21stcenturyskills.org.
The Environmental Education and Training Partnership (EETAP) just released its Environmental Education Professional Development Needs and Priorities Study identified 89 professional development needs for environmental educators. There are some remarkable similarities and congruencies between the key findings of this study (below, and in attachment) and the work that ACEE plans to do over the next year.
