EE Master Plan |
|
 Every five years the Kentucky Environmental Education Council convenes representatives of agencies and organizations from across the state. The representatives collaborate to create a master plan to improve environmental education in Kentucky. The first plan, Land, Legacy, and Learning, was completed in 1999. An updated version titled Land, Legacy, and Learning II was completed in 2004. The newest version, Land, Legacy, and Learning III, was completed in 2009.

EE Surveys |
|
In 1995, the General Assembly charged the KEEC to “monitor and report periodically on environmental literacy in Kentucky.” KEEC, working with the University of Kentucky Survey Research Center, completed the first survey of environmental knowledge, attitudes and behaviors in 1999, the second in 2004 and the third in 2009. The results of the 2009 report were published in the 2009 Master Plan (Land, Legacy, and Learning III).

Educational Curricula For Teachers, Schools, & Communities |

KEEC has published several guides full of relevant lesson plans for Kentucky teachers, students, and the general public. Many of these materials were aligned to previous Kentucky academic standards. Though the standards are outdated, the content and activities in the materials are still helpful as we teach our students critical thinking, problem solving and how human and natural systems interrelate.To view and download our guides, click on the title of interest below.
