Dr. Steve Marable was recently recognized by The International Society for Educational Planning (ISEP) for his dissertation, “Green Schools – The Implementation and Practices of Environmental Education in LEED and USED Green Ribbon Public Schools in Virginia.” His research study earned the 2014 Outstanding Dissertation Award. Each year, ISEP recognizes outstanding dissertations related to all aspects of educational planning. ISEP considered dissertations that were completed in 2013 or 2014 that resulted in the award of a terminal degree.

As part of this prestigious award, Marable has been invited to present his study in Cyprus at the ISEP’s annual conference and publish his work in the Educational Planning Journal. The Educational Planning Journal is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal and serves as the official publication for The International Society for Educational Planning. Marable will travel to Cyprus this October where he will present his study at the international conference and receive his award.

Marable was also invited to present his study at the Virginia Educational Research Association Conference this September in Charlottesville.
