Greetings Pennsylvania Educators!
You are invited to respond to the 2019 Status and Needs of Environmental Education in PA Survey in the link below. The survey will be open from May 1-24. Five randomly selected respondents will receive $50 Amazon Gift Cards they may use for purchasing education supplies.
This survey is an initiative of the NOAA funded PA Environmental Literacy Capacity Building Project. Survey questions are based on job responsibility, with specific sections for classroom teachers, school administrators, and non-formal environmental education organizations. The results will help guide support for environmental education through deliberate actions across the state.
Your response is much appreciated! A high response rate from the 300+ environmental education provider organizations and the 500 PA school districts is needed to inform decision-making, professional development, and programming to successfully build the capacity of environmental education across PA.
