"By taking the required workshops to acquire my certification, I have learned many new ways to reach and teach my high school students. Environmental Science is no longer just a boring subject, but a subject to be appreciated and learned with gusto!" High School Science Teacher

The following workshops and courses have been reviewed and approved by the Environmental Education Certification Review Committee for completing Eligibility Criteria I: Instructional Workshops. Workshops will be added to this list after their approval by the committee. Although approval of workshops does not hinge on a balanced presentation of alternative points of view, workshop sponsors should, in their presentations, promote informed objective decision-making. All workshops and courses, however, must be consistent with the definition of environmental education as cited on page 8 of the North Carolina Environmental Education Plan. In selecting workshops and courses, candidates for North Carolina Environmental Education Certification should consider a variety of experiences that will broaden their range as environmental educators. Information about scheduled professional development workshops that may be used for Components I, II, or III of the Certification Program may be found in listings below.
