Environmental Education Teaching Fellows Program
Project Description: APNEP supported a 4-day outdoor environmental education learning experience for teaching fellows and other pre-service teachers in North Carolina. The teacher training experience was held on Cape Lookout National Seashore. Field experiences; hands on/inquiry based classroom techniques; and discussions focused on environmental issues (air quality, land use etc) pertinent in a coastal environment. Guest presenters from North Carolina environmental agencies and non-profits contributed their expertise to the fellows. Participants were also introduced to the North Carolina Environmental Education Certification Program and received assistance and encouragement to apply for and complete this certification. This workshop has been presented for the past 7 years with great success.
