Are you interested in writing about environmental education (EE)? We are always interested in reading new and engaging voices in EE!

eePRO is devoted to sharing the latest pedagogy and practices in environmental education. With that said, we realize that the field of EE is multi-faceted, and we are open to innovative approaches and intersectional perspectives.

If the blog you have in mind is related to a specific event or resource, the post should add something more than what would normally go in a content post. For example, writing a post that merely shares an event that is going to happen should most likely be added as an eePRO Post. But a story about a personal experience (whether yours or someone else’s) at NAAEE’s annual conference or another EE-related event, for example, can be a blog post.

Submission Guidelines

What we look for: 

• Word count: Approximately 400–900
• Photos/Images: You must have the rights to any photos or images you use.
• Style: We generally follow the Chicago Manual of Style.
• Content: eePRO is devoted to sharing the latest pedagogy and practices in environmental education, but we are open to innovative approaches and intersectional perspectives. 
• Link resources in the body of text or add cited sources at the end of your post with citations indicated in the text by number.
• We accept simultaneous submissions. Please provide linkbacks to the original post.

A note about sharing images:

If you share any photos, please include a caption and photo credit. By sharing images on eePRO, you are confirming that you have the rights to do so.

Our editorial process:

Editing

Once your blog post lands in our inbox, we will lightly edit it for spelling, grammar, and clarity before publishing. If we have questions or need to suggest any significant changes, we will reach out to you to confirm these before publishing.

Once your post is approved, NAAEE staff or an eePRO Group Moderator will add a draft to eePRO.

Formatting

When we're adding a blog post to eePRO, we may select parts of your text to highlight as quotes. We may also break up large paragraphs, insert headings, and add images. These formatting changes help with readability.

Publishing

We will tag your post to any relevant eePRO Groups. Your post will show up in that group’s activity feed and may also be featured on the group’s bulletin board. Your post may also be tagged to eeNEWS.

Once your post is edited, formatted, and tagged to relevant eePRO Groups, we will publish it and send you a confirmation email.
