Growing Future-Ready Students: How Environmental Education Advances District Priorities

School leaders are often asked to do more with less. This webinar will highlight how environmental education can support student achievement, workforce readiness, and whole-child learning while advancing district goals.

Presenters will share practical strategies and real-world examples of how schools and districts are using environmental education to:

Strengthen interdisciplinary teaching and learning across STEM, English language arts, social studies, and the arts.
Foster positive youth development through authentic, hands-on learning experiences.
Expand career exploration and workforce readiness by connecting students with careers in natural resources, sustainability, and beyond.
Build meaningful partnerships with nonprofits, businesses, and community organizations that enrich student learning and strengthen local connections.

Whether you're a classroom educator, administrator, curriculum leader, or community partner, this webinar offers practical ideas for preparing future-ready students through innovative partnerships and place-based learning.
