Nevada State Certification in
Environmental Education and Interpretation
What is the NEEI program all about?
This comprehensive state program in Environmental Education & Interpretation (EE&I) is offered for educators and others working in nature centers, museums, zoos, aquaria, schools, and other nature-and heritage-rich places. The workshop format of these courses will emphasize student-centered learning experiences. Prior to registering for the courses, the participant will need to complete a separate admissions process. To become certified, NEEI participants will complete the four courses that are described below. At the end of the coursework, participants will complete a supervised internship. Upon the achievement of coursework and the internship, the participant will be awarded a Nevada State Certificate in Environmental Education & Interpretation.
- Environmental Education: Conceptual Foundations, Issues, & Methods
- Environmental Literacy
- Planning, Implementing, and Fostering Learning in Environmental Education & Interpretation
- Diverse Audiences in Environmental Education & Interpretation
