SUMMARY:Supporting Environmental Literacy Across the Curriculum with the MWEE Framework
DESCRIPTION:When: Thursday\, May 14\, 2026\, from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.\n\n\n\nWhere: Nockamixon State Park\, Environmental Education Center\, 1542 Mountain View Drive\, Quakertown\, PA 18951.\n\n\n\nAudience: Grades 3-12 classroom teachers\, school administrators\, curriculum designers\, preservice teachers\, and nonformal educators.\n\n\n\nCredits: Six Act 48 continuing education hours will be provided for Pa.

When students learn through systemic and well-designed environmental education\, they build background content knowledge to support literacy and experience authentic\, hands-on learning that advances STEM and promotes career readiness. Recognizing the complexities of implementing student-driven\, authentic\, and locally relevant environmental education that meets academic goals\, we will explore the Meaningful Watershed Educational Experience (MWEE). This well-established framework provides the structure and resources to support integrating environmental education in schools that aligns to PA STEELS standards\, including the Environmental Literacy and Sustainability domain. \n\n\n\nThis workshop will include an outdoor field experience. Participants should dress appropriately. The MWEE team will follow up with site-specific details prior to the workshop date. \n\n\n\nThis workshop is provided in partnership with Heritage Conservancy and supported by their Department of Environmental Protection Environmental Education Grant.
