The Online Guide to Environmental Education (EE) in Georgia (www.EEinGeorgia.org) includes a directory of over 300 organizations that offer EE resources to Georgia educators. A searchable resource database allows you to locate the grants, contests, outreach programs, curricula, field studies, etc. available from these organizations and others. In addition the statewide calendar includes upcoming EE professional learning workshops, conferences, and symposia. Check out the new EE School Directory and discover the many projects and programs taking place at schools across the state. If your school is a model for EE, consider showcasing your efforts by creating a profile in the directory as well! Plus be sure to subscribe to the free EEinGeorgia monthly E-newsletter to keep up with new EE resources and opportunities posted to the site.

Georgia Green & Healthy Schools (www.greenandhealthy.org) is a collaborative initiative with a mission to assist and support schools in understanding and practicing environmentally sound principles. To participate, students and teachers use assessment tools to conduct school-based investigations on one or more of the six assessment areas (air, energy, facility management, school grounds, solid waste, and water). Results of this program include cost-saving measures that can save schools thousands of dollars a year in energy, water, maintenance, and other costs. The collaborative nature of this program creates a dynamic and more productive learning environment for the students, while fostering a personal investment in the environment. All public and private/independent schools (grades K-12) in Georgia are invited to participate.

Visit the US EPA’s Eco-Portal for Teachers for access to databases, information, and activities for your students.

Green Teacher is a magazine that is used by many teachers to help enhance environmental programs in their classrooms. Green Teacher provides education for Planet Earth.
