Environmental education study
To establish a set of strategies to make integration of environmental education in the classroom better and easier in the Kansas City region, MARC funded an environmental education study. This study used focused research and interactive planning with key target audiences (states, school districts, teachers, EE organizations) to provide structure to this broad issue and direction to move EE ahead in the region. An executive summary gives a brief overview of the study.
