Certification, a process that has been pioneered in several states, is designed for naturalists and educators working at non-formal nature and environmental education facilities at parks, arboreta, private preserves, and more.
It gives educators in this arena access to a formal credential that standardizes and upgrades professional training, allowing educators to become better trained and perhaps even more marketable.
To download a copy of the Executive Summary of our final survey report, please visit the PA Non-Formal EE Certification webpage. The Executive Summary and full report, Pennsylvania Non-formal Environmental Educator Certification, will both be available soon.
Sign up for a regional discussion group by contacting: Project Coordinator - Chris Tittle at chris.tittle@pcee.org or PAEE President - Ruth Roperti at rroperti@zoominternet.net.
