No Child Left Inside Act of 2009

The No Child Left Inside Act of 2009 addresses critical environmental challenges by strengthening and expanding environmental education in America's classrooms.

The NCLI Legislation represents a critical opportunity to give American students the knowledge that they will need to make informed personal decisions and act as responsible citizens as they face environmental challenges that previous generations never imagined.
    Environmental education has been shown to excite students. It engages them in their world, and it gets them in the outdoors.  It also promotes higher-order thinking skills and is correlated with higher test scores in math and reading.
    Environmental Education is the foundation for creating the green workforce of the new economy.  There is inadequate funding for environmental education, both at the state and federal levels.

Please continue to support environmental education as the No Child Left Inside Act is reintroduced and educate your colleagues on the importance of the legislation.
