Evolving Curricula with The University of California

EfS Curriculum Development with The University of California The Cloud Institute is happy to partner with the UCLA/Getty Program in the Conservation of Cultural Heritage to look for evidence of the attributes of Education for Sustainability in existing curricula. We'll work with a team to identify opportunities to further “sustainablize” the curriculum, evaluation tools and instructional practices, facilitate professional learning, and support mapping syllabi to the EfS Benchmarks. Over the course of this project, Jaimie Cloud will mentor faculty in applied sustainability content, thinking and instructional practices. This is a three year grant funded by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEH), and as a leader in the field of Heritage Conservation, The UCLA Program for Conservation of Cultural Heritage will share their findings in an effort to broaden their impact on the field.
