[NMScience] EE Certification Progam for NM? Come discuss...

[Vannetta R. Perry]

Hello,

Some of you may have heard of the national movement to certify Environmental
Educators.  This is being done by different states, under the guidance of
the North American Association of Environmental Education (NAEE).  You can
read about this initiative at
http://www.naaee.org/programs-and-initiatives/professional-certification-and
-accreditation



You are invited to come to a lunch meeting on February 19, from 11:30 - 1:00
at the NM Museum of Natural History, to review some programs from other
states and to discuss whether NM should also be starting such a program, and
if so, what it would look like.  These are just beginning discussions.  If
we decide to pursue such a program, it would involve many more meetings,
input and feedback from environmental educators all over the state.  There
will be two more "beginning discussion" meetings like this one in Farmington
(date to be announced) and Las Cruces (April 15), so if those locations are
closer to you, please contact me.
