We'd like to introduce you to Shannon Gordon, our statewide CREEC Director! Shannon began working for the California Department of Education in October 2013. Since that time she has been highly instrumental in the development, adoption, and rollout of the California Next Generation Science Standards. Her passion for, and background in, Environmental Education prompted her to apply for CDE’s Program Consultant position for Environmental Education. She has worked as an educator and program coordinator for a variety of Environmental Education Centers as well as taught three years of formal middle school science. Shannon received her Master of Arts studying environmental education organizations and their relationship with the formal education system. Her expertise will surely benefit the CREEC Network and EE throughout California. Welcome Shannon!
Talking about new things such as the Next Generation Science Standards, we are forming learning communities where we learn together what NGSS will look like for environmental education. Our first meeting in 2015 will be in San Luis Obispo on January 28 at 4pm in the SLOCOE Training Room. We will look at possible templates to use to align to NGSS and look at any sample programs you are working on. Please RSVP soon!
