>===== Original Message From EPA_Education@... =====
In response to limited and delayed funding, EPA has decided not to issue a
solicitation for new environmental education grant proposals in Fiscal Year
2007.  In order to award grants in a timely manner and reach teachers by early
summer, EPA will select a limited number of proposals from those received in
response to the 2006 Solicitation Notice.  EPA will select and fund additional
grants from the most highly qualified and highly scored proposals that were
not funded in the 2006 grant cycle.

In response to the 2006 Solicitation Notice, EPA received 966 proposals
nationwide and had funding available to award 138 grants, or less than 15% of
the total proposals submitted.  There is still an abundance of excellent
proposals from which to select additional awards in accordance with fair
competition policies.  EPA asserts that giving the most highly qualified and
worthy proposals the opportunity to be funded this year best serves the public
interest and Congressional intent.  We believe this action is far more
equitable than beginning a new solicitation process this late and not issuing
any grants until 2008.  Timing is particularly significant for this program
because most of the grants are based on the school year cycle, and teachers
are available for training in the summer months.

EPA has begun to contact the most qualified applicants from the proposals
submitted for the 2006 grant cycle.  Because funding for environmental
education was reduced in 2007, we anticipate funding significantly fewer
grants this year. The grants selected for funding will be posted on our Web
site as soon as possible.

Subject to the availability of funds for Fiscal Year 2008, EPA anticipates
posting a new Solicitation Notice in September 2007 and will welcome new grant
proposals at that time.

NEA Foundation for the Improvement of Education Accepting Applications
for Learning & Leadership and Student Achievement Grants Programs



  Deadline: June 1, 2007



  The NEA Foundation for the Improvement of Education (
http://www.neafoundation.org/ ) is accepting applications for its
Learning & Leadership and Student Achievement Grants  Programs.



  Learning & Leadership Grants provide opportunities for teachers,
education support professionals, and higher education faculty and staff
to engage in high-quality professional development and lead their
colleagues in professional growth. The grant amount is $2,000 for
individuals and $5,000 for groups engaged in collegial study.



  Student Achievement Grants provide $5,000 to improve the academic
achievement of students by engaging in critical thinking and problem
solving that deepen knowledge of standards-based subject matter. The
work should also improve students' habits of inquiry, self-directed
learning, and critical reflection. (These grants replace the
foundation's Innovation Grants program, which has been discontinued.)



  Applicants for both programs must be practicing U.S. public school
teachers in grades K-12, public school education support professionals,
or faculty and staff at public institutions of higher education.
Preference will be given to members of the National Education
Association ( http://www.nea.org/ ). The NEA Foundation encourages grant
applications from teachers  with less than seven years of experience in
the profession and education support professionals.



  Visit the NEA Foundation Web site for complete program guidelines.

Partnership Reaches Children with Wetlands Education


Project WET, Ducks Unlimited Partner to Prepare Today's Children, Tomorrow's
Leaders and Policy Makers, to Make Informed Decisions about Wetlands
Conservation





Bozeman, Mont., April 26, 2007 - Many people are unaware of the tremendous
value wetlands provide to the environment. In an effort to conserve these
valuable habitats, Ducks Unlimited and Project WET (Water Education for
Teachers) have partnered to reach children with wetlands education,
instilling in them an appreciation of wetlands. With this appreciation,
today's children, tomorrow's conservation leaders, will be able to make
informed decisions about wetlands conservation.

Ducks Unlimited and Project WET will use Project Webfoot, a Ducks Unlimited
program launched in 2005, as the vehicle for reaching children with wetlands
education. In communities across the nation, children's classrooms
participate in Project Webfoot through the support of local businesses,
corporations, foundations, and individuals. Sponsored Project Webfoot
classrooms receive wetlands education material from Ducks Unlimited, and
then Project WET trains the teachers to use the materials. The Project WET
U.S.A. Network, which has coordinators in all 50 states, will make it
possible to reach teachers across the nation with Project Webfoot training.
The two organizations will also collaborate to develop and publish new
wetlands education material for distribution through the Project Webfoot
program.

According to Gregg Patterson, Ducks Unlimited Director of Communications,
"Given the reach of its delivery network and its expertise in water resource
curriculum development and workshop facilitation, Project WET was the ideal
partner for helping grow and strengthen the Project Webfoot program."

Leading Project Webfoot and Ducks Unlimited's Youth and Education program is
former Project WET U.S.A. Network Coordinator Rab Cummings. Before joining
Ducks Unlimited, Cummings coordinated the 50-state Project WET USA network
of water educators, which serves over 25,000 educators annually with
professional development workshops on water, wetlands, and water quality. He
also coordinated "Make-a-Splash with Project WET," the largest one-day water
education event in the country.

Project WET President and CEO Dennis Nelson said, "Project WET has been
committed to wetlands education since its inception in 1984. By partnering
with Ducks Unlimited, we will increase the number of children, educators,
and communities we reach with water education. This partnership will allow
both organizations to further their respective missions while creating
life-long wetland stewards."

About Project WET:
Project WET, over the last twenty-three years, has developed, published, and
delivered interactive, hands-on, science-based curriculum to more than
183,000 teachers in 24 countries and thousands more through its
publications. Its more than 300 hands-on, interactive science-based water
resource activities have been delivered through a "train-the-trainer" model,
which consists of more than 100 state- and country-level coordinators and
2,700 community-level facilitators. The thousands of teachers trained in
Project WET have reached millions of students with interactive lessons in
science and sustainable water resource management. Online at
<http://www.projectwet.org> www.projectwet.org.

About Ducks Unlimited:
With more than a million supporters, Ducks Unlimited is the world's largest
and most effective wetland and waterfowl conservation organization with
almost 12 million acres conserved. The United States alone has lost more
than half of its original wetlands - nature's most productive ecosystem -
and continues to lose more than 80,000 wetland acres each year. Online at

   Many people are unaware of the tremendous value wetlands provide to the
   environment. In an effort to conserve these valuable habitats, Ducks
Unlimited
   and Project WET (Water Education for Teachers) have partnered to reach
   children with wetlands education, instilling in them an appreciation of
   wetlands. With this appreciation, today’s children, tomorrow’s
   conservation leaders, will be able to make informed decisions about wetlands
   conservation. <br>
   <br>
   Ducks Unlimited and Project WET will use Project Webfoot, a Ducks Unlimited
   program launched in 2005, as the vehicle for reaching children with wetlands
   education. In communities across the nation, children’s classrooms
   participate in Project Webfoot through the support of local businesses,
   corporations, foundations, and individuals. Sponsored Project Webfoot
   classrooms receive wetlands education material from Ducks Unlimited, and
then
   Project WET trains the teachers to use the materials. The Project WET U.S.A.
   Network, which has coordinators in all 50 states, will make it possible to
   reach teachers across the nation with Project Webfoot training. The two
   organizations will also collaborate to develop and publish new wetlands
   education material for distribution through the Project Webfoot program.
<br>
   <br>
   According to Gregg Patterson, Ducks Unlimited Director of Communications,
   “Given the reach of its delivery network and its expertise in water
   resource curriculum development and workshop facilitation, Project WET was
   the ideal partner for helping grow and strengthen the Project Webfoot
   program.” <br>
   <br>
   Leading Project Webfoot and Ducks Unlimited’s Youth and Education
   program is former Project WET U.S.A. Network Coordinator Rab Cummings.
Before
   joining Ducks Unlimited, Cummings coordinated the 50-state Project WET USA
   network of water educators, which serves over 25,000 educators annually with
   professional development workshops on water, wetlands, and water quality. He
also
   coordinated “Make-a-Splash with Project WET,” the largest one-day
   water education event in the country. <o:p></o:p></p>
   <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><font size=3
   face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Project WET President
   and CEO Dennis Nelson said, “Project WET has been committed to wetlands
   education since its inception in 1984. By partnering with Ducks Unlimited,
we
   will increase the number of children, educators, and communities we reach
   with water education. This partnership will allow both organizations to
   further their respective missions while creating life-long wetland stewards.

challenges.  Not the least of which is reconciling the water needs of
current and future residents, agriculture and industry, with the
preservation of the region's remaining rivers and streams and the survival
of the plants and animals that depend upon them.  Population growth coupled
with continued water use by agriculture and industry and extended drought
conditions has brought unprecedented demand for groundwater, adversely
impacting the surface flows of rivers and streams across the arid West and
bringing increased attention to the critical need for sustainable water
management.



           The Sonoran Institute understands that the sustainable management
of a common resource like water requires public dialogue.  However, issues
surrounding water management are technically and legally complicated,
presenting challenges to developing sound public policies.  This new Sonoran
Institute report, Sustainable Water Management: Guidelines for Meeting the
Needs of People and Nature in the Arid West explores the relationship
between groundwater and surface water and proposes a framework for
sustainable water management to meet the needs of people and nature. It
takes an in-depth look at Arizona, applying the sustainable water management
framework to three case studies - the San Pedro, Santa Cruz, and Verde
rivers - and recommends water management policies to allow this arid state
to prosper while protecting its important river systems.    To view the full
report, executive summary of in-depth stakeholder interviews, and list of
interview participants please go to  <http://www.sonoran.org/>
www.sonoran.org.



           We welcome the opportunity to discuss the information here in
greater depth with you and your organization or agency.  Please contact Mia
Stier at (602) 393-4310 x 4 or mstier@... to schedule a presentation
for your organization.





Sincerely,

News Release

FOR RELEASE APRIL 24, 2007

ALCOA FOUNDATION PROVIDES GRANT TO ENGAGE DIVERSE POPULATIONS IN MENTORING FOR
ENGINEERING & SCIENCE

(San Jose, CA) - Alcoa Foundation has provided a $25,000 grant to MentorNet, a
Silicon Valley-headquartered nonprofit that links students and professionals
in scientific and technical fields across the globe.  The grant is enabling
MentorNet particularly to reach out to organizations and staff working with
minority students and professionals in engineering and science to build
awareness of the opportunities to participate in MentorNet programs.  Among
other activities, a series of webconferences will introduce more college and
university-based diversity advocates to MentorNet programs.

Recognized as an organization that effectively uses a network to create
sustainable, competitive differentiation in the marketplace, MentorNet, The
E-mentoring Network for Diversity in Engineering and Science, works in close
partnership with more than 100 institutions of higher education across the
U.S., as well as several in locations around the world.  Its programs rely
entirely on email and the internet to support one-on-one mentoring
relationships for thousands of students and professionals in engineering and
science in the U.S. and 59 countries.

"With the support from grants such as Alcoa Foundation's, MentorNet is better
able to respond in particular to the interests of people of color who are
currently underrepresented in engineering and science, and the communities
which serve them," said Carol Muller, MentorNet's founder and chief executive
officer.  "Thanks in part to the support from this grant, the numbers of
people of color underrepresented in engineering and related sciences - African
Americans, those of Hispanic/Latino/a heritage, and Native Americans -
participating in our One-on-One program this year have increased by more than
60%, for both participating students and professionals."

MentorNet, the global award-winning e-mentoring network linking college and
graduate students with professionals for email-based mentoring relationships
in engineering and related sciences, has been expanding its outreach
activities to focus on all those underrepresented in the fields of science,
technology, engineering, and mathematics.  Since 1998, MentorNet has matched
more than 18,000 one-on-one mentoring pairs.

As part of an effort to build greater awareness of its programs and results,
MentorNet is reaching out to a broader range of organizations.  "We hope to
encourage involvement, create partnerships, and learn how we can do an even
better job of creating and supporting valuable mentoring relationships that
enable individuals to excel academically and professionally," Muller says.

For more information about becoming a mentor or protege, involving a specific
college, university, corporation, government lab, or professional society, or
how MentorNet's programs work, please visit www.MentorNet.net.


About MentorNet - www.MentorNet.net

Founded in 1997 and headquartered in San Jose, California, MentorNet is a
nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization working to further the progress of women and
others underrepresented in scientific and technical fields through the use of
a dynamic, technology-supported mentoring network. MentorNet aims to advance
individuals and society and enhance engineering and related sciences by
promoting a diversified, expanded, and talented global workforce. In
partnership with colleges and universities, corporations, government labs and
agencies, and professional societies, MentorNet is international in scope,
serving students and professionals from all over the world. MentorNet was
recognized in 2001 with the (U.S.) Presidential Award for Excellence in
Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Mentoring. Major funding is provided by
the National Science Foundation, 3M Foundation, IBM, Alcoa Foundation, Cisco
Systems, Hewlett Packard, and Texas Instruments.

** High Priority **

Greetings!

NWF's 2007 Habitat Mini-Grant Application for tribal schools on or near
reservations in Arizona and New Mexico is due by May 11, 2007. Please contact
me directly if you need an extension. Remember, it is an easy application and
should only take an hour.

I have 7 grants at $500 a piece for the development, expansion or maintenance
of your schoolyard habitat  and native plant gardens. I need to have these
distributed by the middle of May and the money can be spent in 2007 and 2008.
This is possible through a generous grant by the Albert I. Pierce Foundation
and New Belgium Brewing Company.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. The application can
be emailed or sent to me. I have only recieved two applications so far so
please distribute this to any tribal school you think may be interested.

I am also available for Schoolyard Habitat one-day workshops in Arizona and
New Mexico. Please contact me if you are interested in hosting a workshop or
attending one.

Thank you!

Alexis

Subject: "Make It Happen" with AFRE



2007 AFRE SUMMER ACADEMIES



Do you want to "Make It Happen" during the 2007-2008 academic year?



During this summer's programming, AFRE will initiate its brand new "Make It
Happen" teacher incentive/action research program - a financial incentive
plus technical support system to assist teams of up to five members in
implementing their new learning for an entire academic year. Besides cash
awards for each team member, selected teams will receive additional
professional development, regularly scheduled on-campus coaching, funds for
substitute teachers and classroom resources, and more to plan the year ahead
and assess student progress all year long!

Why are we doing this?

There is usually little or no scheduled follow up or time to focus
specifically on implementing the knowledge and skills learned in
professional development activities and the much needed time for
collaboration to impact school-wide performance. With school administrators
supporting the selected teams and with a solid commitment from the team
members, we can "Make It Happen!!"

The application process will be detailed for interested teams during the
summer - so it is essential that the entire team attend the academies
together and that means registering NOW! This summer's training will be just
what you and your school have been asking for!

Summer Programming Requested by YOU!

AFRE is proud to offer seven professional development opportunities this
summer for Arizona teachers and administrators. Each opportunity is designed
to address the specific needs and interests expressed by educators around
the state as they answered the questions:

* What do you need to improve the academic performance of your
students?
* What do you need to improve your own professional performance and
the overall performance of your school?

Seven Academies:

* Four 2-day Inquiry Academies with one day "in the field" and one day
learning about the powerful process of inquiry focusing on water,
mining/geology, and home building
* Two 3-day Understanding by Design (UbD) Academies, one in Tucson and
one in Phoenix
* Curriculum Mapping and Instructional Improvement Academy in Phoenix,
with up to five days of hands-on application of curriculum mapping,
differentiated instruction, classroom improvement strategies, and student
assessment

All,

On Friday May 11th and Saturday May 12th, the Hopi Cultural Preservation
Office, the Agricultural Extension Office, and the Natwani Coalition will be
hosting a series of workshops and a community discussion on protecting and
saving Hopi seeds.

The Poshumi Itaaqatsi: "Our Seeds are Our Future"  event will be held at the
Veterans Memorial Center/Wellness Center starting at 8:30 am and is open to
all community members interested in farming and the protection of the Hopi
seed heritage.

The event will include presentations from the Hopi CPO, community members,
and representatives from the Traditional Native Farmers Association and
Native Seed/SEARCH in Tucson.  We also invite all participants to share
their knowledge about Hopi seeds, how to care for them, and stories they may
have about saving seeds.

There will also be a open community discussion and sharing about possibly
establishing a community seed library  that could serve as a place for
community members to both borrow and donate Hopi seeds to plant and save for
future years.

The second day will include hands on training on cleaning and saving Hopi
and non-traditional seeds.

Please feel free to share the attached agenda with any farmers, seed savers,
or community members whom you feel might be interested in attending.


For more information or if you are interested in participating, or know
someone who might be, please call Andrew Lewis at 928-737-4646 or Matt
Livingston 928 734 3708, or email at natwani@....

Apologies for any cross-postings.
