EE Theory & Practice Syllabus
There are six units in the "EETP" course and each unit focuses on an important aspect of
EE. The units begin with an explanation of EE; progress to planning,
implementing, and assessing EE; and conclude with a summary of the
professional responsibilities of an environmental educator.
All course participants should be working on each unit according
to the dates in the following table. This facilitates discussion
board participation and the instructor's review of your assignments.
