High School Teachers Invited to Apply for Classroom Earth Professional Development Grants

A program of the National Environmental Education Foundation, Classroom Earth Professional Development grants are designed to support high school teachers new to the field of environmental education who want to increase the environmental literacy of their students.

Twenty grant awardees will be chosen to each receive a $1,500 grant to take two graduate-level courses offered online by the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point's Environmental Education and Training Partnership. One course will be taken each semester of the 2009-2010 school year. The courses for the upcoming year are: Fundamentals of Environmental Education (Fall 2009) and Making Environmental Education Relevant for Culturally Diverse Audiences (Spring 2010).

Applicants must teach 9th to 12th grades in a public or private school in a state or eligible jurisdiction of the United States, have at least two years of teaching experience, be full-time employees of a school or school district, and anticipate a classroom teaching assignment for the coming year.
