Connecting Teachers with Resources

At Authentic Exploration Matters (AEM), we are on a mission to help make education more meaningful, equitable, and sustainable. We are proud to be an Orange County Public Schools (OCPS) partner in education and have worked to assist teachers in finding resources that enable them to meet the requirements within the six categories of green schools. This page is organized by those categories and further by the criteria, making it easier for teachers to find what they need. We hope that you find the resources that help you meet the Green School of Excellence Award. Let us be your guide to a greener future.
