The inclusion of the No Child Left Inside Act and environmental education in the ESEA would be a significant step towards environmental literacy in North Carolina. Accordingly, the N.C. Office of Environmental Education has submited comments on the ESEA (View the letter).
In addition, the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the N.C. Department of Public Instruction have been working together and with many key organizations including Environmental Educators of N.C., the N.C. Association of Environmental Education Centers, representatives from higher education and others to develop an environmental literacy plan for the state. More information about these planning efforts will be posted on the office’s Web site, http://www.eenorthcarolina.org/, in the next few weeks.
The office and their partners welcome input and participation from the North Carolina environmental education community during this process.
