EE Week Special: David Sobel Speaking April 16th!

The public is now invited to hear well-known author, professor and environmental educator David Sobel. Yes, that’s David Sobel, author of “Placed-Based Education,” “Beyond Ecophobia” and “Childhood and Nature.” David is a core faculty member and director of teacher certificate programs at Antioch University New England. He is a widely recognized authority on place-based education and age-appropriateness in environmental education curricula.

The Sobel speech is part of the N.C. Environmental Education Certification Ceremony, so this is also a great opportunity to learn more about this program and honor the individuals who have worked so hard to receive this honor.

All those being honored have responded and now the general public is invited to purchase the remaining seats. It will be held at the Sheraton Imperial Hotel & Convention Center in RTP and begins with a social at 6:00 pm and dinner at 7:00. The cost is $35 and includes a full meal provided by the Sheraton.

RSVP by via email to Diane.Rodman@ncdenr.gov by close of business on Monday, April 12th if you would like to attend. We will email you the payment options. Act quickly—we want to give as many people as possible the chance to participate in this great event!
