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 you bring an archeological dig into your classroom, plan a wetland at your school, become familiar with Pennsylvania forests and expand your knowledge about nocturnal critters.  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.
