Introduction

Background

The heart and vitality of any effort lies in the vision andcommitment of the leadership, and the support of thecommunity to make things happen. This directory is thetangible result of the vision and commitment of two organiza-tions that seek to promote innovative, quality environmentaleducation programming in the state of Ohio. The Environ-mental Education Council of Ohio (EEC()) and the Office ofEnvironmental Education (OEE) at Ohio EPA are proud toprovide the second edition of this publication, as a service toteachers and environmental educators across Ohio.

EECO is Ohio's primary statewide professional organiza-tion for environmental educators, with a structure thatfacilitates effective delivery of programs and services foreducators at both the state and local levels. The OEE adminis-ters the Ohio Environmental Education Fund IOEEFI, providingapproximately $1 million annually in grants for environmentaleducation projects targeting pre-school through universitystudents and teachers, the general public, and the regulatedcommunity. Many outstanding OEEF grant projects are nowbeing replicated within Ohio and other states.

Both EECO and the OEE share the common belief thateffective environmental education should prepare people tothink about the daily decisions they have to make concerningenvironmental stewardship. Environmental education shouldprovide skills that will help people work together to solveenvironmental problems. For the past six years, EECO and theOEE have partnered to offer professional development andbenchmarking opportunities to teachers and nonformalenvironmental educators, and educational resources to anetwork of more than 1500 participating Ohio schools. Weattempted to provide a comprehensive guide to environmen-tal education resources ranging from arboretums to zoos.

After the first edition of the Directory of Ohio Environmen-tal Education Sites and Resources was published in 1997, wereceived many requests from organizations wishing to beincluded in the next edition. We are happy to publish thissecond edition, and we look forward to making it availableon the Web at www.environmentaleducationohio.ora in thenear future, in order to keep the listings current. It is our hopethat this directory will increase the visibility and availability ofEE resources, assist educators in finding information tocomplement local curricula and programs, and help buildlocal collaboration in the education of Ohio's youth andadults.

How to Use this Directory

Section I contains information on local EE sites andresources, grouped by county within the state's 12 educationregions. To find out which education region you are in, look atthe map of Ohio on page four. These regions were estab-lished by the Ohio Department of Education for the RegionalProfessional Development Centers assisting teachers.

Section II lists resources available at a statewide level. Theseinclude state and federal government agencies, environmen-tal education organizations and programs, and resourcepersons.

Section Illcontains cross-references to locate organizationsalphabetically by name, audience served, type of organiza-tion, and programs and services offered.

Acknowledgments

We wish to thank the hundreds of people and organiza-tions who contributed information to make this resourcedirectory possible. Particular thanks go to Teresa Mourad atEECO and Pattie McKean at Ohio EPA. We recognize that adirectory such as this is never complete, and ask for yourassistance in making us aware of other environmentaleducation resources that should be included.

Guidelines for Educators: How to getthe Most out of Available ScarceResources

As educators, you have in your hands a compasspointing you toward many environmental experts andprofessionals who are willing to share a vast array of infor-mation, tools and ideas with you. To maximize their effective-ness in helping you meet your educational objectives, it maybe helpful to focus on some of the following guidelines.

aarify Your ObjectivesBefore contacting the resource, clarify your educationalobjectives and identify the level of understanding the studentsshould have on the topic to be addressed. Consider whattype of preparation and follow-up activities that may beappropriate.

Be SpecificWhen contacting the resource, explain your educationalobjectives, the topic areas that interest you, your expectationsand questions. For example, when requesting materials, bespecific about whether you need data for a specific region,classroom-ready activities, or publications directed at aparticular age group. This will help the resource person meetyour needs more effectively than if you request them to "sendeverything you have."

Limit Your RequestHelp your students combine and pool their requests forsimilar information. Whenever possible, send all the requestsin one package and ask that materials and information bemailed to one address in one package.

Request Information and Presenters Ahead of TimeIf you plan to use the material in conjunction with an activity,send your request at least three or four weeks ahead of timeto give agencies and volunteer organizations enough time torespond. Understand that most agencies and volunteerorganizations do not have the personnel available to respondimmediately to requests for presenters in classrooms or forfield trip leaders, and calendars fill up quickly. Six months'lead time is quite appropriate for planning an extended fieldtrip for a class, when advance preparation is necessary.

During PresentationsBe present during the session so you can provide support tothe presenter, and respond to additional student questions.

Develop a Relationship With Resource PeopleRather than relying on one-time classroom visits or demon-strations, consider whether it may be useful to develop anongoing programmatic relationship, to reinforce what yourstudents are learning and enhance your own professionaldevelopment.

Acknowledge Contributions from Resource PeopleBy acknowledging the support from resource people andagencies that you have received as an educator, you will helpyour students understand that the community is interested intheir learning, and that education also takes place beyondthe four walls of the classroom.

Guidelines for Resource Professionals:How to Have the Greatest Impact

With sweeping education reforms underway in Ohio andacross the U.S., educators are under more pressure than everto justify the effectiveness of their efforts. As the schoolcurriculum has become more crowded, less time is availablefor field trips and presentations by outside professionals.However, demand is increasing for hands-on learningactivities that reinforce the curriculum and help students builddemonstrable skills in problem solving and investigation. Asan environmental educator, you can offer a full toolbox, andinteresting subject matter that reaches across traditionaldisciplines, to help students understand complex problemsand make big-picture connections. To have the greatestimpact, consider some of the following guidelines.

Clarify Your Own and the Teacher's ObjectivesWhat educational outcomes are expected from your presen-tation? What skills are you helping students sharpen? Manyteachers may not wish to encroach upon your presentation,but planning will be far more efficient if expectations on bothsides are clear.

Clarify Time and FormatHow much time is available for the presentation and whatwill the format be? Will there be enough time for a hands-onexperience, or just a demonstration? What advance prepara-tion is being made for you? Ask educators to be presentduring your presentation, or they may think you prefer themto leave.

Know Your AudienceWhat is the baseline level of student knowledge andunderstanding? Ask the teacher how much experience thestudents have had on the selected topics.

Prime Your AudienceAs far as possible, urge educators to prepare the students inadvance for your presentation. For example, provide theteacher with activities or vocabulary in advance, or havestudents prepare a list of questions they would like to haveanswered.

Provide Follow-UpConsider what kinds of materials and activities you canprovide for students to use after their visit or your presenta-tion.

Explore Ongoing PartnershipsDeveloping an ongoing programmatic relationship witheducators may be a great way to share your expertise. Thismay involve other educators or administrators in a school.Don't hesitate to refer educators to other agencies or organi-zations where appropriate.

Habitats for Learningconsists of three resources:

A 15-minute video serves as a motivational tool, illustrat-ing the value of using and developing habitats for learningand some of the common concerns and key elements ofsuccess.

A planning guide reinforces and expands upon the videoby presenting the nuts and bolts of how to use, enhance anddevelop habitats for learning. It includes sections on thebenefits of habitats for learning, curricular and instructionalconsiderations in program development, using what isalready there, overcoming concerns, building a supportsystem, developing and implementing a plan, and sitedevelopment.

A directory provides county listings of existing habitats forlearning, or land labs, and key information about each site. Italso gives county listings of resource people who are willingto assist others in using and developing land labs. Cross-reference lists help individuals find sites with specific featuresof interest to them (e.g., butterfly gardens, wetlands).

The materials have been distributed to all elementary,middle and high schools in Ohio and are available from theOffice of Environmental Education at Ohio EPA or the ODNRDivision of Soil and Water Conservation. Resource people arealso available to conduct workshops or provide one-on-oneassistance.
