About this organization

About
Caeli program implementation: led and managed the steering committee's work and evolution to the California environmental literacy initiative (caeli). Worked to create a system of support in California that enables all students to have local, standards-and environment-based experiences that enhance their learning inside and outside of the classroom, based on recommendations from the blueprint for environmental literacy. Partnered with more than 20 government, non-government, and other stakeholder organizations to move the work forward, sought advice from a 30-person advisory body in addition to a wide array of other educators, scientists, and environmental experts, all focused on advancing environmental literacy through professional learning, curriculum, and new instructional materials; engaging school districts as the unit of change; managing public relations and communications; and presenting at statewide conferences promoting environmental literacy.
