Program Description
CEEE supports K-12 educators, college instructors and out-of-school, informal educators in their teaching by providing free, high-quality peer-reviewed resources. These resources include classroom-ready lesson plans, game-based learning, data visualizations, virtual field trips, videos, digital tools, personal narratives, science storytelling, video-making workshops, and more. The resources address important topics in earth and environmental science, including natural hazards, water, frozen landscapes, climate change, climate solutions, climate mental health, community resilience, geomagnetism, space weather, and more. The CEEE offers educators both virtual and in-person professional learning, including options for professional development and graduate credit.
In 2025, the HEART Force Drought Unit was recognized as a Colorado Water Education Exemplar.
This badge recognizes programs that advance water literacy among young Coloradans.
The best part about the class was that it made me realize the importance of community hazard resilience and how it can blend into existing science curriculum (not previously on my radar). Prior to this class, hazards were taught in more of a strictly science cause-effect context without the thought of resilience. The resources that were shared and experienced throughout the class were excellent. I have already learned a great deal about our local OEM and the resources they offer through the preparations for a potential Hazard Expo
