Guidelines for Excellence Training (August 13, 2026)

Thu, 13 Aug 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Bora Simmons of the North American Association for Environmental Education will provide attendees with in-depth training on the NAAEE's Environmental Education Programs: Guidelines for Excellence. Attendees will also receive a printed copy of the publication.

Environmental Education Programs: Guidelines for Excellence comprises a set of recommendations for developing and administering high-quality environmental education programs. These recommendations provide a tool that can be used to ensure a firm foundation for new programs or to inform improvements in existing ones. You can learn more about this and all of the publications in NAAEE's Guidelines for Excellence series at Environmental Education Programs: Guidelines for Excellence | eePRO.

Coffee, light snacks and lunch will be provided.

Space is limited! Registration is open until August 6th or until full. For questions, contact Sarah Wolf at swolf@eeai.org.

Calumet Educators Collaborative (September 15, 2026)

Tue, 15 Sep 2026 13:30:00 GMT

Join leadership from the Environmental Education Associations of Illinois and Indiana for a day of professional learning and networking with educators from across the Calumet Region. Educators from Indiana's Department of Natural Resources will present activities from Project WET, Project WILD, and Project Learning Tree that support this year's theme of "Environmental Education to Inspire Action and Optimism." A lively round of 'resource speed dating' and guided roundtable discussions will create opportunities to explore the region's support systems and generate ideas for getting students outdoors.

We will have coffee and light snacks available in the morning and a warm lunch will be provided.

Space is limited! Registration is open until September 8th or until full. For questions, contact Megan Sharp at msharp@eeai.org (Indiana) or Brekke Bounds at ed@eeai.net (Illinois).
