This three-day seminar builds on the Center for Ecoliteracy's acclaimed book Smart by Nature: Schooling for Sustainability. It is designed to give participants ideas, resources, and inspiration they can take home to make teaching more engaging, effective, and memorable.
The seminar includes presentations and demonstrations by sustainability education leaders, exposure to inspiring projects, hands-on practice with techniques that work, and reflective conversations with seminar faculty and fellow educators.
Seminar topics will expand the content of Smart by Nature:
* Schooling for Sustainability: What it is and why it matters
* Food: Reinventing school food — teaching sustainability through a focus on food, featuring a preview and discussion of the PBS special, Nourish
* The Campus: Buildings, grounds, and school practices as tools for teaching
* The Community: The school is an apprentice community for learning the arts of living in an interdependent world
* Teaching and Learning: Expanding beyond the four walls of the classroom
Teams of at least two members are required from K-12 schools and districts. Due to interest, we are also creating a team of professors and encourage university educators to apply.
Registration includes a delicious breakfast and lunch on all three days.
Books and video resources:
* Smart by Nature: Schooling for Sustainability
* Big Ideas: Linking Food, Culture, Health, and the Environment
* Nourish DVD
Seminar fee is $425
