U.S. life expectancy is declining from that of the previous generation, oil has reached its peak, and the economy is in trouble. Our current lifestyle and patterns of consumption cannot continue with the resources at hand. This course will help elementary and secondary teachers in all subjects learn about the role that promoting sustainability can play in their curriculum, stressing a local approach. After taking this course, teachers will more fully understand the issues surrounding sustainability as well as how to effectively implement it as a unifying concept which allows students to become agents of change within their community.
The components of this independent study are appropriate for elementary as well as secondary teachers and will involve readings and research, movie analysis and contacting and working with local partner(s) in order to create and implement sustainability projects with their students. Teachers will research the topic using the Internet, text, video and/or selected article readings and will also use their local community as a resource and laboratory in which to apply their learning.
