Interested in contributing to the development of some form of a Virginia state environmental education certificate program? See this email, and sign up via the links below.

Dear Colleagues,

Prior to the closure of the Virginia Office of Environmental Education you may recall that David Ruble and Mike Foreman facilitated a series of focus groups wherein they gathered your ideas about a potential Virginia Environmental Education Certification program. From the focus groups consensus emerged to move forward with the development of a certification program. David and Mike then conducted three curriculum writing sessions at Virginia Tech, George Mason University and New Kent Forestry Center to begin framing the Environmental Education Certification Program for Virginia. While closure of the VOEE was a set back to the planning process many of you expressed a strong desire to continue the great work started by David, Mike and all of the attendees of the focus groups and writing sessions.

We are excited to share that two additional curriculum writing sessions have been scheduled to continue framing the Environmental Education Certification Program for Virginia at the following times and locations:

Tuesday, July 11th, 9:00 am - 3:00 pm at Virginia Tech, Cheatham Hall Room 315; Please RSVP for the Virginia Tech writing session at the following link: vaee.wildapricot.org/event-2586040

Thursday, August 3rd, 10:00 am - 4:00 pm at New Kent Forestry Center; Please RSVP for the New Kent writing session at the following link: vaee.wildapricot.org/event-2586029

I hope you can attend one of these sessions as we continue moving forward with developing this program!

Thanks,

Dan Cohen and Tara Poelzing ...
