Envisioning Excellence: Lessons from Effective School Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Programs
Envisioning Excellence helps schools take effective action to advance health, safety, and wellness initiatives. Envisioning Excellence presents the Framework for Effective School IAQ Programs: Six Key Drivers -- guidelines that detail the organizational approaches and practices that are fundamental to school IAQ program success -- and presents five profiles in excellence to demonstrate how different school districts applied the Framework to create effective and enduring IAQ programs.
IAQ Lesson Plans
The National Education Association Health Information Network (NEA HIN) has created a series of hands-on, interactive lesson plans geared towards grades K-12 that supplement the U.S. EPA’s IAQ Tools for Schools Program. All lesson plans are tied to state education standards and can be easily integrated into your school district’s curriculum. Many of the lessons can be adapted to any grade level, can be used as independent activities, or combined to create an 'IAQ unit'.
