R.I. Completes Environmental Literacy Plan |
|
Rhode Island is now among the first states in the nation to finish an Environmental Literacy Plan (
ELP), opening the door for potential federal funding that will help to equip teachers with the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to integrate critical environmental and science learning into their curricula.
The announcement of the Plan’s completion was made on June 20, 2011 by the Rhode Island Environmental Education Association (
RIEEA) and Rhode Island Commissioner of Elementary and Secondary Education Deborah A. Gist at an event held in an outdoor classroom developed at the Old County Road School in Smithfield.
