This website is a work in progress, and will continue to be developed.
With prior funding from IMLS (MG-10-16-0057-16) and NSF AISL (DRL 1612416), we led an extensive participatory process spanning two years and dozens of program providers and leaders of cross-organizational networks and associations to identify crosscutting and aspirational outcomes for EE programs for youth. We then operationalized and statistically validated these outcomes measures to apply across a wide and diverse set of experiences, resulting in a questionnaire we are referring to as “EE21,” short for the Environmental Education Outcomes for the 21st Century Survey. (Powell, Stern, Frensley & Moore, 2019).
