National Environmental Education Week
National Environmental Education Week, made possible by Canon, promotes environmental literacy and stewardship among over 3.5 million students annually by creating a full week of environmentally-themed lessons and activities for students in K-12th grade classrooms, home schools, nature centers, zoos, museums and aquariums.
Each year, thousands of educators from across the country use EE Week's online resources to incorporate environmental learning into their classrooms in an educational week-long prelude to Earth Day. Registration for EE Week is free.
EE Week educators have access to a number of resources, including:
- A full week’s worth of online environmental education preparation, curricula, and activities;
- Monthly EE Week E-Newsletters that offer tips on planning for EE Week, as well as new curricula, funding sources, and professional development opportunities;
- Opportunities for online communication and knowledge-sharing with educators from across the country who are also interested in promoting environmental education in the classroom.
