NAAEE is developing tools for Affiliates and other partners that will help them to advocate for the field and communicate effectively on behalf of EE and their own organizations. Check back for updated communications and messaging resources, and an EE advocacy toolkit in Fall 2019.

Every Student Succeeds Act

Tools and resources

As states and school districts implement Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), NAAEE will continue to provide updates and tools for EE providers to use in partnering with school districts to advance environmental literacy. Read a fact sheet on ESSA, review an ESSA implementation timeline, and get tips for reaching out to school administrators as they make decisions about how to spend Title IV grants funds and provide students with a well-rounded education. You can watch a short webinar below featuring NAAEE's Director of Policy & Affiliate Relations, Sarah Bodor, as she shares information regarding how to secure Title IV funds for local school districts. 

The map below shows information regarding implementation of Title IV funding for environmental education programs for students and teachers within schools in the Every Student Succeeds Act or ESSA.
