The South Carolina Green Step Schools Initiative encourages K-12 schools to take annual steps toward establishing and maintaining model quality sustainability projects. Schools qualify for awards when they work with qualified mentors and submit videos or pictures with detailed captions showing their students learning, doing and teaching others about their projects.
PEEC—the Palmetto Environmental Education Certification Program – is the first and only professional environmental education certification in S.C. open to both formal and non-formal educators. Throughout the two-year certification, participants sharpen their individual skill set for teaching environmental education, network with fellow educators from across the state, and explore the different regions of the state.
EEASC offers opportunities like mini-grants and our annual conference for our members to grow in their careers as education and environmental professionals. We believe that you never stop being a student, even when you become the teacher.
