On Saturday, teachers get the best of both worlds, a taste of the regular NAAEE conference and teacher-focused breakouts designed specifically for their needs. Beginning with the Exhibit Fair, teachers are offered resources and the chance to meet with lots of EE providers, walking away from this day with new contacts, information, and materials to help students learn about the environment in exciting new ways. Hands-on sessions offer unique opportunities for personal involvement. Throughout the day are dozens of other sessions on how to make teaching more effective using the environment as an integrating context for learning.

How can we bring new, exciting elements to our conference without increasing our energy use?
