Opportunities

Share your EE activity!
(And maybe get paid for it!)

Are you a K-12 classroom teacher or field educator who has developed an innovative environmental education activity for your class? Would you be willing to share your thoughts about that activity with CLEARING? Things like:

• Why did it work?
• Special tips for teachers?
• What were your assessment strategies?
• What learning objectives did it achieve?

We are collaborating with the Kootenay-Boundary Environmental Education Initiative in putting together a compendium of curricular ideas and resources to highlight exemplary practice in outdoor, environmental and place-based learning.

If you are interested in learning more, please click “Yes, I’m interested” below. Thanks!
