IRS990/Desc0Environmental Education: The program connects formal & informal educators in the greater Houston Area in order to increase the quality and quantity of environmental education. Based on feedback from educators, they are interested in teaching students about the Greater Houston environment, yet it has become more common to teach about other environments due to a lack of local knowledge and teacher materials. CEC's environmental education programs seek to provide resources related to Houstons climate, bayous, water and air quality, prairies and more to bridge this gap. In 2021, CEC distributed resources through its online resource directory, and brought together environmental educators for collaboration through a Community of Practice known as the Environmental Educators Exchange (EEE). The EEE met bimonthly and resulted in new collaborations being formed, new resources being exchanged, and the building of fellowship between educator peers. Additionally, CEC implemented grant funded projects received in previous years that were deferred due to COVID. This included a project to create watershed-based after-school programs in Pasadena, teacher training workshops, and other partnerships with education partners. In all, nearly 100 educators attended in-person or virtual education events in 2021.
