The Green Teacher Leader eeCREDENTIAL is designed for educators who want to bring environmental education and sustainability into their classrooms and school culture. Through KAEE’s eeCredential professional learning pathway, participants gain the skills, tools, and support needed to guide students in meaningful environmental action. 

The Early Learning Leader eeCredential provides a comprehensive professional development pathway through four specialized courses focused on nature-based and environmental education for young children. Participants gain expertise in early childhood curriculum training and the foundations of teaching environmental education, with a deep dive into the theory, practice, standards, and research of nature-based learning for young learners.

Based on the Community Engagement Guidelines for Excellence from the North American Association for Environmental Education, this eeCREDENTIAL consists of a series of online courses designed to equip participants with the skills needed to collaborate with their community in addressing local environmental issues. Through each course, you will explore a new array of settings, partnerships, and opportunities to take your work more fully into communities. The goal of this eeCREDENTIAL is to strengthen relationships and create more genuine collaboration in communities.
