Description of Event:

The Colorado EE Resource Review Plan defines a model for a statewide review system for environmental education (EE) resources. At both the state and national level, EE Material reviews were published most recently in 1998 by the National Association for Environmental Education (NAAEE) in The Environmental Education Collection: A Review of Resources for Educators, Volumes 1-3. Since that initial review period, EE providers have not had materials or programs reviewed or the reviews published. To fill this void, the Colorado EE Advisory Council decided to develop the following process. The overarching goals have implications for several related elements of EE design and delivery, including: quality-assurance mechanisms; marketability of EE programs; program integrity; leadership development; and credibility and value of EE in Colorado. The following are the basics steps involved in this review process: 1) Submitter provides self-review analysis of resource. 2) Three trained reviewers analyze the resource, verifying or rejecting claims of submitter. 3) Submitter is notified of results; decides whether or not review is to be made public. 4) Results made available to the public through Program Profiles on EE Information Clearinghouse.
