Education
for sustainability is “learning that links knowledge, inquiry, and action to
help students build a healthy future for their communities and the planet.” We
will explore the history and opportunity for this field in EDUC401K: Education
for Sustainability, a 2-credit seminar through the Pipeline Project. Through
volunteer placements in local schools and environmental community
organizations, we will analyze the most effective ways for educators to teach
the importance of sustainability to the K-12 audience and inspire youth to
become active stewards of the earth. The seminar meets Wednesdays 3- 4:20.
