TEACHERS - PENNSYLVANIA NEEDS YOUR HELP!
The Environmental Literacy Indicator Tool (ELIT) is a federally directed effort to collect information from the Mid-Atlantic region every two years to monitor the status of environmental literacy efforts at a district level. The collected data will help the Chesapeake Bay Program Education Workgroup support local efforts to implement strategies that support students’ environmental literacy. In support of the Pennsylvania Literacy Plan, all school districts, charter, and private schools across the commonwealth are invited to participate.
We request that you – or the appropriate district staff-person – complete the voluntary Environmental Literacy Indicator Tool (ELIT) by November 7, 2019 to provide important information about activities related to district-wide environmental literacy curriculum and planning activities in your state.
