Education for Sustainability Interactive Webinars

Educating for Sustainability - All Day Every Day

In this 2-hour interactive webinar, we will begin by exploring the whole system of EfS and the rationale for our approach.  Then we will zoom in to discuss what it takes for a school to educate for sustainability, and what it looks like (and what it doesn’t look like) in curriculum.  Finally, we will walk through the practice of “sustainablizing” units of study so that students are prepared with the “different way of thinking” required to lead with us the shift toward a sustainable future.

At the end of the session, participants will be invited to beta test our “EfS Reality Check,” a new tool designed for educators to determine the extent to which their school is already educating for sustainability, and to provide insight on strategic next steps.

Assessments that Produce Learning for a Sustainable Future

(To get the most out of this webinar, we recommend you participate in our December Webinar entitled, Educating for Sustainability - All Day Every Day )

Are you educating for sustainability? How do you know?  In this 2-hour interactive webinar, participants will learn about the attributes of assessments that produce learning for a sustainable future.  We will then explore and discuss exemplary EfS assessment instruments , and engage in the process of analyzing student work for evidence of the knowledge, skills and attitudes that characterize Education for Sustainability. Finally, we will celebrate what the research is telling us about the impact EfS is having on students, teachers, and communities.  

At the end of the session, participants will be given a “take home” tool to self assess their own assessment practices so that they can identify the next steps they want to take to improve their practice.
