Community Engagement: Guidelines for Excellence was developed using a process of critique and consensus, similar to the process used to develop all of the other Guidelines for Excellence publications. The public review process involved gathering input from hundreds of educators, including focused feedback collected from content experts representing a variety of fields (e.g., diversity, community partnership building), a 16 person National Advisory Team, a wide range of stakeholders, and a Professional Learning Community (PLC).
These guidelines were created by environmental educators, for environmental educators, who want to work in partnership with communities to strengthen the underpinnings of well-being - environmental quality, social equity, shared prosperity, and the capacity to pursue these goals together.
They draw on best practices honed by scholars and practitioners in diverse fields including education, environmental education, social change, community development, communication, sociology, management, government, and business. Whether you work with youth or adults, on behalf of an oreganization, or as an individual, these guidelines and the accompanying resources can help you design programs that strengthen the interwoven strands of environment and community.
