Tawanda Twain sending plea for your action to prevent cuts to EE budget in 2013…Letter to Pres. Obama link included
sign-on letter to Obama re ee summit
Please circulate to your networks! Forwarded message from Sarah Bodor, NCLI Coordinator, follows…email signatures of support (name, position, organization) to sbodor@cbf.org by this Friday 4/13.
Dear Friends,
As discussed on our Monday’s NCLI Conference Call, we have drafted a sign-on letter to the President regarding the White House Summit on Environmental Education scheduled for Monday April 16. The letter urges the establishment of an inter-agency Council on Environmental Literacy–a recommendation that has been made by many in the environmental community in one form or another for more than two years. Given the sudden nature of the Summit scheduling, we will seek signatures from as many organizational members of the Coalition–including yours–as possible before noon on Friday. In the face of devastating cuts to EE programs proposed in the FY2013 budget, there is perhaps a rare opportunity to nevertheless push the Administration to create a comprehensive vision for environmental education that will ultimately bolster the impact of the work we all do. Please respond to me by noon on Friday April 13 if your organization is able to sign on to this letter and feel free to share with others who may wish to support this request.
Very best wishes,
Sarah

This fun and educational look at the Adventures of Atom X is the essay Odyssey as interpreted through Prezi. Those educators who live in 21st Century Skills partner states may want to encourage students to create the Adventures of Atom Y as part of fostering collaboration, creativity and media literacy.

If you could demonstrate your favorite part of A Sand County Almanac…. completely without words… just visually…. could you do it? Could you play an instrument to the sound in your mind of one of his essays? Could you share one section all in texture to be touched with eyes shut and shared? How does Leopold feel to you? What sensory experiences can you use to share and enhance your presentation of it? To inspire? Show me. Show all of us!
