Ten Strands

To support causes that improve lives focused primarily on K-12 education in California and environmental issues.

We work collaboratively with state government, local education agencies, environmental education providers, community-based organizations, and funders to ensure that teachers have access to high-quality instructional materials that address Common Core State Standards, Next Generation Science Standards, History–Social Science Standards, and support English language learners. We foster efforts to infuse environmental themes into core subjects and empower teachers to use the environment as a context for learning both inside and outside the classroom. By supporting professional development opportunities, teachers can provide students with engaging environment-based educational experiences.
