Current Initiatives

At our 2013 conference at the Little River Canyon Center, State Superintendent of Education Dr. Tommy Bice presented the draft of Alabama’s Environmental Literacy Plan entitled Alabama Alive! A State Environmental Literacy Plan. Once approved, this document will serve as a guide for best EE practices in our state.

"The ELP provides the framework for establishing an environmental education plan in Alabama. The plan is designed to help students achieve knowledge and skills regarding current environmental challenges, including making informed decisions and finding solutions; identify their roles as engaged and responsible citizens who are stewards of the environment; and realize how local and state environmental issues in Alabama relate to environmental issues in the nation and in the world." -
Dr. Thomas R. Bice, from the State Superintendent of Education’s message in Alabama Alive!
