This Green Classroom Program recognizes classrooms for incorporating environmentally responsible actions into their school day. Students work together to “green” their classroom by choosing to make a commitment to specific sustainable behaviors.
Here you will find materials from teacher professional learning sessions including presentation slides, session recordings, and supporting documents.
This area organizes the materials used at the institute by topics including; social emotional learning in nature, links to environmental educator created resources and opportunities, Project WET, Save the Redwoods, and action projects.
