E3 Comprehensive Plan

The E3 Washington Statewide Comprehensive Plan is the first online, searchable approach to creating a new system of Education for Sustainable Communities.

The E3 Washington comprehensive plan maps strategies for concerted action and change.

What is different about the E3 plan?
  1. This is a “living” plan. The cycle of plan completion, implementation, measurement and revision is provided in “real time” on this site. 
  2. The plan belongs to Washington’s diverse communities. The plan reflects the priorities of thousands of diverse leaders in regions and sectors across the state.
  3. The plan invites action. Individuals and organizations are invited to join the E3 network, provide ideas and resources, and get involved.
  4. The plan “walks the talk”. While the E3 Map, the executive summary of the E3 Washington comprehensive plan is available in hard copy, the comprehensive plan itself including hundreds of pages of sector and regional plans is available in electronic format only.
  5. The plan will never get outdated because participants in the growing E3 network are on the cutting edge of innovation in education, business, and policy.
