eeCOURSES
eeCourses are intended to build key competencies in a particular subject or focus area. Each one operates asynchronously and will require a total time commitment of 12-15 hours. eeCourses include a variety of tasks and assignments that are thoughtfully designed to engage participants in active learning experiences. They include specified due dates for each module, and in some cases, periodic Zoom meetings. All of our eeCourses are moderated or facilitated by professionals in the field. Moderators will provide feedback and grades for all submitted assignments, and they will be available to answer questions regarding tasks or assignments.
eeCourses provide environmental educators an opportunity to dive deeper into pools of knowledge they want to specialize in. Participants earn badges, certificates, and recognition throughout their journey in the program. Completion of eeCourses offer a formal way to demonstrate commitment, understanding, and proficiency in more specialized areas of environmental education.
