  1. EE “Field” Research & Planning Process To develop a deeper comprehension of: • The barriers that have prevented EE from becoming more readily accepted as a legitimate strategy toward conservation and academic outcomes; • The research gaps that exist in the field; and • Potential strategies to systematically build the field of EE.

  2. EE “Field” Research Convening Thought Leaders Bay Area NatureBridge CREEC Golden Gate Parks Conservancy Exploratorium California Academy of Sciences Monterey Bay Aquarium Audubon Stanford University UC Berkeley UC Davis Student Conservation Association San Francisco Unified School District National Park Service Washington D.C. National Audubon Society U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service North American Association of Environmental Education USDA, Forest Service National Environmental Education Foundation Chesapeake Bay Foundation National Wildlife Federation Student Conservation Association U.S. Department of Education American Forest Foundation National Geographic Society National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration National Park Service

Gold Foundation TomKat Foundation The Stewardship Council Clarence E. Heller Charitable Foundation Pacific Foundation Services Walter & Elise Haas Fund Barr Foundation (Boston) Academic Researchers Stanford University Tufts University University of California, Berkeley University of California, Davis University of California, Santa Cruz Duke University Oregon State University Royal Roads University Monterey Bay Aquarium Portland State University

  4. EE “Field” Research Convening Thought Leaders California EE Interagency Network (CEEIN) Department of Education Environmental Protection Agency Education and Environment Initiative Air Resources Board Water Boards Department of Pesticide Regulation Department of Toxic Substances Control Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment California Natural Resources Agency California Coastal Commission California Department of Forestry & Fire Protection Department of Boating and Waterways Department of Water Resources California Department of Food & Agriculture California Bay-Delta Authority California Conservation Corps California Energy Commission California State Parks Department of Fish and Game Cal Recycle

  5. EE “Field” Building Implementation (2014-2016) • Lacks widely implemented Best Practices • Lacks effective collaboration • Fails to deliver a clear and urgent message Strategies Collaborative (2012-2013) Planning & Research (complete)

  6. Collaborative Three key outcomes • Comprehensive logic model and associated portfolio of core strategiesdeveloped for deployment by environmental education organizations individually and collectively to build the field • Develop a shared understanding and consistent messages to better articulate the urgency, purpose, goals, and outputs of environmental education • Develop and test strategies for bridging the gap between academic research and field best practices

  7. Collaborative: Phase One Discovery and Assessment Collaborative • Vision, goals, outcomes, road map • Update logic model • Update EE “field” scan • Communications platform Resource Presentations & Discussions • Academic research (Nicole Ardoin, Stanford) • Previous “field building” efforts (Jack Chin, Arabella) • Diversity, relevancy, competence (Carolyn Finney, UC Berkeley) • Public Participation in Scientific Research (Heidi Ballard, UC Davis) • Youth media and communications (Youth Radio) • EE “stories” (Diane Wood, National Environmental Education Foundation) • Core messaging & branding (Communications expert)

  8. Collaborative: Phase Two Committee Work & EE “field” Engagement Potential Committees • Messaging: Development of a clear and urgent platform • Research and Practice: Strategies for bridging the gap • Collaboration: Best practices for effective and meaningful collaborations Engage the broader environmental education community • Regional convenings, feedback sessions • Conference presentations and discussions • Networks (NAAEE, EGA, ASTC, AEOE, BAEER, etc.) • Government agencies • Funders Resource Presentations and Discussions, cont.

  9. Collaborative: Phase Three Strategies and Implementation Committee Recommendations • Committees report to full Collaborative Collaborative Final Report • Collaborative compiles strategies & recommendations into produced report Collaborative Findings Outreach • Regional convenings, feedback sessions, etc Implementation Planning • High level road map for how strategies can be implemented
