The Santa Clara County Office of Education believes that the more we understand our connection to the environment, the more the possibilities to influence how those connections impact our health and our planet. Collectively, our small, individual actions add up to a big difference. Environmental education offers countless opportunities to improve lives, protect the environment, and prepare all Americans to address critical environmental challenges ahead. The Environmental Literacy and Facilities teams at the SCCOE will support Santa Clara County schools in local prioritization of environmental literacy and integrating environmental sustainability and climate-resilient practices across a school's campus, curriculum, community, and culture.
