In December 1977, the Office of Environmental Education (OEE) brought its fiscal year '77 grant recipients together in Boulder, Colorado, for a technical assistance consultation. The technical assistance responsibilities of OEE are mandated by the Environmental Education Act. Until this consultation, OEE had been giving its technical assistance on a request basis. This meeting was its first effort to give technical assistance on a group basis. This publication details and summarizes this consultation meeting. The first of the three sections describes the basis for technical assistance and OEE practices. The second section explains the events leading to the Boulder consultation and the operations and evaluation of the meetings. The third section encompasses the responses to the consultation and recommendations for future technical assistance from OEE. An executive summary serves as an introduction to the publication. Consultation agenda and participants are included in the appendix. (MR)
