Ecology and Education Summit

美国生态学会将于2010年秋季举办生态与教育峰会。它将汇集不同的国家生态和环境教育组织和科学学会的领导人，以及教师组织、技术专家和商业部门，传播最佳做法，以促进可持续世界的环境扫盲，减少重复工作，协调战略，为下一代的绿色职业建设能力和支持途径。在这一努力中，至关重要的优先事项是制定战略，使代表性不足的少数群体和妇女更多地参与生态和环境议程。通过将科学，教育实践和技术发展的最佳成果汇集在一起，峰会旨在加速K-20+受众在正式和非正式环境中的教学和学习转型，以应对当今面临的紧迫而复杂的环境挑战。

The Ecological Society of America will host an Ecology and Education Summit in the fall of 2010. It will bring together leaders of diverse national ecology and environmental education organizations and scientific societies, as well as organizations of teachers, technology experts, and the business sector, to disseminate best practices that will advance Environmental Literacy for a Sustainable World, reduce duplication of efforts, and coordinate strategies to build capacity and pathways of support for green careers for the next generation. In this effort, strategies to increase the participation of underrepresented minorities and women into the ecological and environmental agenda are of critical priority. By bringing the best in science, educational practice, and technology development to one event, the Summit aims to accelerate the transformation of teaching and learning among K-20+ audiences in both formal and informal settings in response to the urgent and complex environmental challenges faced today.
