| Objective: Correlate environmental education activities available through DENR and other agencies with the teaching objectives of all subjects in the DPI's curriculum. Make this correlation electronically accessible and available to educators free of charge.
Explanation: Teachers want environmental education activities that support required curriculum objectives. Correlating environmental education activities with the curriculum will assist educators with the integration of environmental education into their instructional program. Electronic access will enable educators to search by subject area, activity and curriculum objective and promote interdisciplinary instruction.
Action:
Maintain a current correlation of environmental education program activities with DPI's curriculum objectives.
Provide this correlation in digital electronic formats accessible through Macintosh and DOS/Windows compatible computers. Add keywords to the correlation database.
Expand the correlation to include additional curriculum subject areas and environmental education activities offered by DENR, environmental education centers and other organizations.
Disseminate and promote the correlation. Expand awareness and access through telecommunications, clearinghouses, newsletters, conferences and the efforts of cooperating agencies and organizations. |
