How to Evaluate Useful Environmental
Education Programs
Volunteer leaders, academic faculty and specialists
working in the 4-H Youth Development Program have a variety
of resources available to them when programming in the areas
of Environmental Education and Natural Resources.
A challenge surrounding the availability of all these resources
is evaluating the materials and selecting the one most appropriate
for your audience and your desired needs. Good curriculum
materials utilized in the 4-H program should meet several
nationally accepted guidelines for EE materials, be age
appropriate, utilize the experiential learning model, and
incorporate appropriate content. Each of these topics is
explained below.
