Environmental Literacy Guidelines
Environmental literacy is the primary and overarching goal of environmental education. Environmental literacy refers to an individual’s understanding of how their actions and decisions affect the environment. With this knowledge, people can act on their understanding in a responsible and effective manner.
EEAI developed Indiana's Environmental Literacy Guidelines in 2008 with guidance from the North American Association for Environmental Education, the Indiana Department of Education, business leaders and nonprofit organizations.
The ELG also aligns with Indiana Academic Standards. You can access information about standards alignment here: ELG Indiana Standard Alignment.xlsx.
