State Education & Environment Roundtable (SEER) was founded as a cooperative endeavor of 16 state departments of education. SEER works to enhance student achievement, improve K-12 instructional practices and help schools achieve their improvement goals by implementing the EIC Model™.
The EIC Model (using the Environment as an Integrating Context for improving student learning) interconnects "best practices" in education into an instructional tapestry that improves student achievement by using local natural and community surroundings as a context for learning. This is a great resource in guiding you in improving your instruction and programs.
