Educators
Earth Rangers offers a variety of ways to support educators in schools.
From classroom activities, to material to run a successful eco-club, to professional development, Earth Rangers Homeroom is your one-stop shop for some of the best environmental education resources around! Our hands-on NGSS-aligned activities bring environmental subjects to life – and bring hope.
Earth Rangers’ mission is to help kids feel a sense of agency and realize that their actions really do make a difference – in their community and in the larger world. We do this through the 5E’s to drive Eco-Action: Education, Excitement, Empathy, Empowerment and Environmental Stewardship. Each of these E’s highlights a key to addressing environmental subjects in a way that supports kids and quality science education.
Here are some ideas to get you started!
