Professional Development of Environmental Educators: Guidelines for Excellence Online Workshop Module
Are you teaching college courses or professional development workshops online? Here's a resource for you. The Professional Development of Environmental Educators: Guidelines for Excellence Online Module provides lesson plans, videos/PowerPoint presentations, and handouts ready for you to use in your college course or professional development workshop. It provides a step-by-step introduction to NAAEE's Professional Development of Environmental Educators: Guidelines for Excellence. The module begins with a general welcome session, and then moves into an investigation of the six Guidelines Themes. Finally, participants complete a Self-Assessment and create their own professional development plan.
We understand that you may be teaching a semester-long college course in environmental education, a short professional learning workshop for local classroom teachers, or something entirely different. This module is offered as a flexible set of activities that introduce your participants to NAAEE’s Professional Development of Environmental Educators: Guidelines for Excellence.
We encourage you to adapt the sequence of activities to your specific needs. The module can be used in both synchronous and asynchronous online instruction. Depending on your instructional objectives, audience, amount of time available, and online platform, varying sets of activities and activity sequences can be constructed. We assume, however, that you will play an important role as the instructor or facilitator. This module has not been designed as a stand-alone, self-paced instructional unit.
