Our innovative online Educators' Network is a free tool connecting over 25,000 educators with hundreds of environmental education curricula and resources. Our newest curriculum unit, released for the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day, is a comprehensive study of the history of the environmental movement, complete with standards-based lesson plans and multimedia resources. Check out this curriculum at www.earthday.net/earthdaycurriculum.
Our Education grant programs are changing the face of environmental education on a global scale. Schools involved in our grant programs are saving money, reducing pollution and improving their communities – proving our potential to help prepare students for the 21st century learning environment. As we approach the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day in April 2010, Earth Day Network is working to build on the success of our Green Schools Campaign by conducting extensive lighting efficiency swap-outs and solar panel system installations at K-12 schools around the country. In addition to these physical upgrades, we will work with teachers and administrators to tie these school enhancements to classroom lessons and community events in order to provide learning experiences for students, faculty and parents.
