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
