Professional Learning Leader eeCREDENTIAL

The Professional Learning Leader (PLL) eeCredential is designed to build the capacity of its participants to host high-quality environmental education (EE) workshops and equip them with the skills needed to be a leader in the field of environmental education and professional learning. With a combination of in-person training and online courses, this experience sets participants up for success in the field of environmental education.

Those who complete the PLL eeCredential will become part of KAEE’s eeFacilitator Network. eeFacilitators create a powerful network of educators who not only offer EE training to their community but also help to propel environmental literacy across the Commonwealth.

Consisting of two in-person workshops and two online courses, the PLL begins with training in our core EE curriculum: Project Learning Tree, Project WET, and Project WILD. This experience is followed by an exclusive training on how to design and facilitate high-quality workshops through our KAEE Facilitator Training. Throughout the fall semester, you'll also complete our flagship eeCourse: Foundations in Teaching Environmental Education. Finally, you can choose between two of our elective eeCourses: Appalachian Mountain Ecology or Water Quality in Kentucky. Either course gives you a chance to specialize and gain an even deeper understanding of the environment where we live and educate others.
