What is TEEP?

The Texas Environmental Education Partnership (TEEP) is a coalition focused on building and supporting a framework for environmental education (EE) for Texas. Recognizing the diversity of Texas citizens, a broad-based steering committee was created to guide the effort. The Partnership includes representatives from business and industry, the environmental community, academia, governmental agencies, school teachers and administrators, and parents.

 

What Does TEEP Do?
TEEP provides statewide leadership that builds consensus on goals and priorities for EE, coordinates cooperative initiatives, and orchestrates development of a broad-based Texas EE system.

 

TEEP Goals:
In order to have an environmentally literate citizenry, Texas Environmental Education Partnership will:

  • Improve EE quality
  • Identify and increase resources for EE in Texas
  • Build a voluntary statewide structure for existing and expanded EE resources
  • Develop and recommend EE policies for Texas
