Hawai’i Environmental Literacy Plan Available for Public Review

Posted On: Aug 01, 11

The Hawai‘i Environmental Education Alliance (HEEA) would like your assistance in reviewing the DRAFT Hawai‘i Environmental Literacy Plan (HELP). HEEA is working closely with the Hawai‘i Department of Land and Natural Resources, Hawai‘i Department of Education, and the public in developing the HELP. In order to create a plan that is appropriate and applicable in Hawaii’s communities, it is essential to involve environmental educators and all people interested in an environmentally literate Hawai‘i.

Because of the HELP’s link to the upcoming reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act in Congress, the plan is focused on public education. However, the plan recognizes importance of non-governmental environmental education organizations and independent/private schools.

For this draft, please focus on CONTENT rather than appearance or editing. Please provide your comments by August 15th via this site:  surveymonkey.com. You are invited but not required to comment on each section of the plan. Your feedback will be considered carefully is much appreciated.
