The following initiatives have one thing in common: environmental education (EE) stakeholders have told us that these programs would

* add value to the efforts of the EE community
* result in increased environmental literacy and stewardship activities of Albertans
* help advance EE in Alberta

Here's what we did in 2007:

* 2007 Summit and 'Framework to Advance Environmental Education in Alberta.' Consultation with over 180 EE stakeholders has created this Framework for a community-wide collaborative effort that will advance EE in Alberta. More info...
* Trails to Sustainability, our May 2007 EE conference. We partnered with two other EE organizations to help build their capacity and help provide valuable professional development to over 500 EE stakeholders. More info...
* EE Resource Centre. We launched our searchable database, to help connect EE stakeholder groups and their audiences. Put your resources on-line! More info...

About the ACEE strategic plan for 2009-2012

This plan derives most of its activities, outputs, and outcomes from the Framework, and represents the contribution we will make to delivering on the Framework. The plan is just seven pages long and describes detailed activities, outputs, and outcomes. You can download the plan here. In brief, ACEE proposes to create the following strategic outcomes, or “impacts,” in Alberta:

Impact #1: Society increasingly values, supports, and implements environmental education. ACEE will use polling to better understand audiences, work directly with 200x105 - Nature Trail Sign.jpgpolicy-makers, help influence new curricula, and help promote environmental education in Alberta.

Impact #2: Environmental educators more effectively mobilize learners to practice environmental stewardship. An annual leadership clinic and workshop series, providing support to relevant conferences, and services for Alberta teachers will enhance professional learning for formal and non-formal educators and groups.

Impact #3: A coordinated network of engaged stakeholders collaborate to advance environmental education in Alberta. ACEE will support high-potential networks, further develop our on-line environmental education resource centre, and ensure the collaborative implementation of the Framework to Advance Environmental Education in Alberta.

ACEE will steadily increase its capacity to advance environmental education in Alberta. We will ensure that a strategic fund development plan, continuous improvement in administrative management and function, on-going staff training and development, and a dynamic Board means that ACEE is a well-managed, credible, and financially sustainable organization.
