Ohio EE Research Consortium

On March 9, 2001, Ohio EE 2000, the Environmental Education Council of Ohio (EECO), and the Ohio State University Extension sponsored Environment in Ohio Education: Support Through Research: Exploring Research Needs for Environmental Education in Ohio. This first ever environmental education (EE) research symposium for Ohio was a daylong event held at the Creative Catering center in Hebron, Ohio. The symposium was a first step in the formation of a research consortium for EE in Ohio as called for in Ohio EE 2000: A Strategic Plan for Environmental Education in Ohio.

A capacity crowd of over 70 enthusiastic EE researchers, administrators, and practitioners from both the formal and nonformal education communities attended the symposium. Participants heard stimulating keynote addresses, viewed an EE Research Poster session, and worked in small groups to discuss EE research needs and strategies for establishing an Ohio EE Research Consortium.

Establishing an Ohio EE research consortium is, and will continue to be, the product of the work and vision of many dedicated people around the state. As a "next step" to the Ohio EE research symposium, a planning team is working to Guide the formation of the Ohio EE Research Consortium. The team began their work by conducting an online needs assessment survey to inform the process of forming the Consortium.
