What’s Your IEQ? A Roadmap to School Indoor Environmental Quality
This online course was developed by the National Education Association (NEA) and the NEA Health Information Network (NEA HIN) as part of NEA’s Online Academy. The interactive course will educate NEA members, state affiliate staff, and others on how to identify, prevent, and resolve indoor environmental quality (IEQ) issues like mold/moisture problems, chemical exposure, asbestos, radon, and more.
The five modules cover topics such as the factors that affect IEQ including ventilation and the design, construction and location of schools; the effects of IEQ on performance and health; common pollutant sources; and how to organize around the issue of poor IEQ as a local association.
The facilitated course includes commentary from national expert speakers on topics like asthma, green schools, asbestos, and ventilation; from seasoned UniServ Directors and other state association staff on topics such as health and safety committees; and from NEA members who have first-hand experience in dealing with IEQ issues.
This course is free to NEA members and non-NEA members such as other school staff, administrators, parents, and school board members.
