Completing your own evaluation of your resource helps familiarize you with the NAAEE Guidelines so that you will understand the comments from the independent reviewers.

Training in NAAEE's Environmental Education Materials: Guidelines for Excellence is not required for submitters, but is highly recommended. You'll learn more about the Key Characteristics and have time to use them to analyze one of your own resources in a collaborative setting, with help from a Guidelines coach. By the end of the training, you will be well on your way to completing your first evaluation.

2008 Workshops

We are currently planning our workshop calendar for 2007. Please contact NAAEE at (202) 419-0417 or send an email to  resource-reviews at naaee.org if you would like to schedule a Resource Review training. Our budget allows us to hold only a few trainings each year.

Workshop #13:  Be the Best! What EE Resource Reviews Can Do for You
Learn to use the Guidelines for Excellence to assess EE resources. Then choose an option: bring your resource and start an online self-review (computers and guidance provided, submission fees waived), or train and join the national team of peer reviewers so you can provide valuable feedback to others.

• Only $50, includes lunch and one-on-one coaching from Lori Mann, NAAEE Resource Reviews Advisory Council

Join the  Review Team.  If you are familiar with the NAAEE Guidelines and want to support quality in environmental education, you should think about becoming part of the NAAEE Review Team that performs the independent reviews.
