Environmental Education Board
October, 2011
The Honorable, The Legislature:
During the past two years, the Wisconsin Environmental Education Board (WEEB) has built upon past successes and fostered leadership initiatives in the development of environmental literacy and the creation of sustainable communities. Identifying, analyzing, and synthesizing promising approaches to improving environmental education learning by schools, districts, institutions, and organizations in the state has continued to be a high priority for the work of the WEEB. The assistance of the environmental education consultant from the Department of Public Instruction during the 2010-11 academic year was invaluable in these efforts.
The WEEB has several working groups that ensure important tasks are completed in a timely manner, including committees on education, research, grants, development, legislative relations, planning, nominations, and communication. In addition, a close collaboration with the Wisconsin Environmental Education Foundation has allowed joint fund raising projects to occur that assist with providing the essential resources needed to fund many of the environmental education activities taking place.
The previous two years has seen the WEEB transition from using EE 2010: A Plan for Advancing Environmental Education in Wisconsin as guidance for its work to the newly created Wisconsin's Plan for Environmentally Literate and Sustainable Communities. This Plan is based on the input of a variety of groups from around the state concerned about the health and well-being of Wisconsin's people, sustainability of its natural resources, and leaving a positive legacy for the future. It is built on the idea that sharing knowledge and best practices will help Wisconsin achieve a vision of environmentally literate and sustainable communities.
