PHOENIX–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Sustainable Earth, a collaboration between Arizona State University and Wells Fargo, has announced the launch of the Sustainable Earth Educators Awards to celebrate the impact US educators and administrators are making in sustainable education. The program will award $20,000 in prize money, with individual award amounts up to $500.
The SEEAs are open to any educator or administrator in the US who is integrating sustainability concepts in their classroom or school at large. This includes, but is not limited to, lesson plans, programs and projects that are related, but not limited to, science, social studies, mathematics, arts, English language arts, and physical education.
