Section I: Clinic Overview

Below is a description of the clinic purpose.  Please read each and let us know if there is anything else we need to address in order for the clinic to fully serve you and your team.

Clinic Purpose
The purpose of the 2005 EETAP Leadership Clinic is to broaden support to state and provincial environmental education capacity building teams.  The clinic agenda is participant-driven around the needs of these teams and the individuals that compose them.  Representatives from EETAP national partners and the eight EETAP States will share their experiences developing critical EE initiatives that, for example:

1) "Raise the bar" on the quality and amount of EE training

• EE Certification
• Preservice EE Training
• Regional Delivery Networks

2) Increase outreach and access to EE

• Programs that Target Culturally Diverse Communities
• Searchable Online EE Directories

3) Develop leadership and community within the EE field

• Comprehensive Statewide EE Plans
• Sustainable EE Associations
• Teacher and Teacher Trainer Networks

This gathering of EE leaders will increase our collective understanding and application of strategies to achieve effective EE programs and ultimately environmental literacy and stewardship.

Does the clinic purpose meet with your expectations and needs?  Yes No
