Featured Environmental Education Projects

Periodically, the OEEF contracts with the Environmental Education Council of Ohio to conduct an independent review of completed grant projects, in order to select OEEF Outstanding Project award winners. OEEF highlights these projects as examples of effective environmental education. Because of the great variety in OEEF-funded projects, EECO and the OEEF developed a set of holistic instruments for use in reviewing these completed grant projects, Rubrics Cubed: What One Grant Maker Looks for in EE Projects [PDF].  These are the instruments that we use:

For K-12 education projects:  

OEEF Rubric for K-12 curriculum [PDF]

OEEF rubric for K-12 student activity [PDF]

OEEF rubric for K-12 professional development [PDF]

For general public/adult education projects:

OEEF rubric for seminar/class/workshop [PDF]

OEEF rubric for print product [PDF]

OEEF rubric for media product [PDF]

OEEF rubric for public awareness campaign [PDF]

OEEF also uses a tool for Web site evaluation for both K-12 and general public projects that contain a Web site component.
