Where We Work
NCEP is designed to be a global endeavor; individual educators at any location with Internet access may participate by simply downloading and using NCEP materials free of charge. In several countries, however, the CBC and its in-country partners have chosen a more intensive strategy. To date, these countries are Bolivia, Lao PDR, Madagascar, Mexico, Peru, the United States, and Vietnam. For more information about each of these countries, please click on the map.
Implementation in these countries may include workshop and training events, which bring educators and conservation practitioners together for a variety of purposes. In some cases, workshops are held to review and adapt existing modules to the context of a particular country. In other cases, workshops facilitate the production of new modules, or present new modules for discussion and evaluation by faculty peers. Finally, some workshops are focused on how modules can be used, and in particular, how the principles of active teaching and learning embedded in NCEP module structure and content can be effectively used in the classroom to improve how we teach about conservation. Since 2001, the CBC and its partners have held more than 18 NCEP workshops in six countries, working with more than 400 faculty members, practitioners, and students from 175 institutions. As NCEP continues to develop, the focus of workshops will shift from module development and review to module usage and content training for an ever-expanding circle of conservation professionals and university faculty.
CBC staff, together with collaborating individuals and institutions from around the world have also produced a set of core modules in English, Spanish, French, Lao, and Vietnamese. Over the next few years, NCEP plans to create and disseminate modules on approximately 100 topics, which mirror the richly interconnected, multidisciplinary nature of the field. Modules are distributed free of cost to the users, and are available in printed form, and in electronic form via the Internet and on CD-ROM.
