Environmental Literacy & Sustainability Symposium; Beyond the Field Trip

Join us for a dynamic one-day symposium centered on Environmental Literacy and Sustainability (PA STEELS) in K–12 Education, designed to empower educators with the tools, strategies, and inspiration to integrate environmental awareness into their teaching. This event brings together educators, environmental experts, and community leaders to explore innovative approaches to sustainability education across all grade levels.

The symposium will feature presentations from leading voices in environmental education, a variety of sessions tailored to both elementary and secondary educators, and collaborative sessions that highlight real-world, place-based learning opportunities. Participants will gain access to resources, strategies for fostering student agency in environmental stewardship, and practical ideas for creating more sustainable school communities that extend well beyond a field trip.

Whether you're just beginning your journey in environmental education or looking to deepen your practice, this symposium offers a unique opportunity to connect with peers, learn from practitioners, and leave equipped to inspire the next generation of environmentally literate citizens.
