Tagging content in eePRO
When adding content, be sure to include a tag. Tags make sure that eePRO users can find your content easily when they search. Tags can be related to geography (states, regions, etc.), audience (formal educator, researcher, etc.) or topic (climate change, diversity, etc.), among others. You are welcome—and encouraged—to use multiple tags, where possible. This ensures that people searching in a variety of ways can find what you’ve posted.
If you are unsure of which tags to use, or would like to suggest the inclusion of a new tag, please contact us at eePRO@naaee.org.
Developing a Professional Development Plan Using the Self-Assessment
Using Guidelines for the Preparation and Professional Development of Environmental Educators as a set of potential benchmarks, the self-assessment will help you reflect on your competencies as an environmental educator. Organized around six themes, each theme describes a knowledge or skill area that must be included in the preservice and inservice training of an environmental educator. Under each theme, general guidelines further articulate the knowledge and skills that must be mastered to gain competency in that area. Finally, each guideline is accompanied by several more specific indicators that suggest ways of assessing the abilities of new environmental educators, as well as the quality of the programs that prepare them for their profession. Indicators are to be used simply as examples and do not represent an all-inclusive listing of abilities. Suggested PD posts are linked to the plan.
Please login or create an account >
The Self-Assessment is linked on your profile page.
