5th Annual Cenovus Energy Environmental Education Leadership Clinic a Success!
Eight teams gathered near Caroline to work on developing plans to move learners to action! "The Clinic afforded our team the opportunity to really "dig deep" into the plan we are developing. I found the facilitation offered very valuable. - Ryszard Kozlowski, City of Red Deer "We were able to take a glimmer of an idea and develop a workable plan. The facilitation was also key to our success. Having the opportunity to talk our plan through with the other attendees and the staff from ACEE allowed us to move through the sticky parts and helped us consider our ideas from many different angles. Definitely time well-spent! - Leslie Waite, Prairie Waters Elementary School Read about the experience had by the teachers from Prairie Waters Elementary School here. Thanks for sharing this blog!

ACEE is thrilled to announce that Cenovus Energy has committed to funding this program for the next three years! |
