Special Issue for Educators!


Summer "Professional Development" Issue

This issue of "EE Connections" is dedicated to summer professional development opportunities for educators.  Interested in gaining more tools to teach PA's Environment & Ecology Standards? Looking to learn more about your local environment?  These events will help familiarize you with Pennsylvanian herps (amphibians and reptiles), engage youth in improving their community and environment, expand your knowledge of watershed-related issues, and more. Many programs allow for direct integration with your lessons and are aligned to state academic standards. Have a great summer!

Additional summer events can be found in PCEE's Events Calendar, searchable by date, region or key word.
