Update on No Child Left Inside


Environmental literacy (EL) is knowing how to live in our place.

More specifically, EL is the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to make informed and responsible decisions on issues of environmental quality, economic sustainability, and social justice. EL is achieved through approaches labeled natural resource education, environmental education, place base service learning, interpretation, and many others. We focus on achievement of academic and civic engagement goals by K-12 students by providing coordination and professional development, and by supporting many partners who directly serve K-12 students. Please explore the four goals of our strategic plan for more details:

A. Partnerships
Partnerships: working towards a state master plan for Environmental Literacy through EL Summits
B. Professionalism
Professionalism: creating an Environmental Educator & Interpreter Certification Program and offering the Our Places Tell Stories conference with the Public Lands Institute; offering Lamoille Institute for Educators, Project Learning Tree, Project WET, River of Words, Earth Institute discussions, and supporting and coordinating professional development
C. Leadership
