The Green Parent

Do you know a teacher who makes an outstanding effort to teach kids about going green? If so, the National Environmental Education Foundation wants to hear about it. The organization is currently accepting nominations for this year’s Richard C. Bartlett Environmental Education Award which will be awarded to one lucky teacher, along with $5000, at the North American Association for Environmental Education Conference in Wichita, Kansas in October. The award is open to any 5th-12th grade teacher who consistently works to bring environmental education into the classroom. Teachers must have at least 3 years of experience in public, private, or home school education to be eligible. The deadline for nominations is June 30, 2008…so don’t delay.
