Teachers and Administrators: Make Your Voice Heard! Also be entered into a drawing for a $25 gift card!

The Mississippi Environmental Education Alliance (MEEA), in partnership with the Southeastern Environmental Education Alliance, announces the launch of Phase 2 of MEEA’s landscape analysis of environmental education efforts in eight southeastern states. And we want to hear from you.

Our Phase 2 survey, which should take less than 20 minutes to complete, will allow MEEA to assess the scope, strategies, and resources being used in schools across the southeast to build environmental literacy in students. It will help us – and you – determine gaps and barriers to EE implementation in schools, and it will enable us to make recommendations that can help you infuse EE into formal education settings.

Furthermore, the project can benefit you and your school by helping to build partnerships between individual formal and nonformal educators at the community level to support ongoing active and social learning, networking, and idea exchange. AND it can bolster collective impact at the state-level while helping your school district advance the environmental literacy of your students.

To thank you for your time, you’ll be entered into a drawing for one of 120 $25 gift cards to the Outdoor Learning Store upon submitting the survey.

Please submit your responses by Wednesday, Oct. 26,2022.

If you receive this e-mail more than once through different sources, please forgive us because we are trying to get it out to as many teachers and administrators in Mississippi as we can.  Also feel free to forward to your fellow teachers and administrators.  Thank you!
