Description
MEEA’s goal for the online Environmental Education program is to offer flexible, ongoing professional development course opportunities for formal and non-formal educators in Montana. Each course is intended to build key competencies and skills in a particular subject or focus area.
About the Online Courses:
- Each course requires an 8-15 hour time commitment for over nine (9) weeks.
- Each course consists of 4-6 modules. You will build on knowledge learned in each module through focused tasks and assignments that offer active learning experiences.
- Courses are offered with suggested timelines and due dates to encourage your timely completion of assignments.
- Courses are offered asynchronously using the Moodle platform. Login information is provided when you are accepted into the course.
- Courses are moderated by 1-2 professionals in the field. Moderators provide feedback and grades for submitted assignments and are available to answer questions regarding tasks or assignments.
- You will receive a certificate of completion upon finishing your course.
- Professional Development Units (PDUs) are available through MT OPI to certified teachers upon successful completion of an online course.
The eeCredential courses meet NAAEE Guidelines for Excellence as building blocks to eeCredentials. MEEA currently offers 3 eeCourses a year. More courses are in development with future opportunities to build them into an eeCredential in a specific area.
