The theme of this year’s conference – Waves of Connection – celebrates what makes PAEE so special: our collective ability as passionate environmental educators to drive change through resilience, diversity, engagement, and connections. We encourage presentations that incorporate experiences and activities from community events, school programs, advocacy work, staff training, and more.
Our tracks for this year are
- Connecting to Science: Are you an expert on rocks, mushrooms, or other nature topics? Share your knowledge to help educators improve their understanding of specific natural science topics or present cutting-edge research that could reach a wider audience.
- Connecting to Classrooms: Have a great program you’d like to share? Present your activities, lesson plans, or learning experiences. Examples could include STEELS-aligned and MWEE projects.
- Connecting to Communities: Partnerships are essential for environmental education. Share how you collaborate with your community to protect the natural world.
- Connecting to Nature: We all love learning outside! Join us for pre-conference field trips to explore the beautiful spaces in and around Erie.
