Join us at the Green Schools Conference on March 3-4-5 in Orlando, Florida

The annual Green Schools Conference (GSC) brings together everyone involved in creating and advocating for green schools, with a focus on those leading their schools and school systems toward whole-school sustainability.

The Cloud Institute will be hosting a hands-on workshop at the Green Schools post-conference on March 5, 2025. The experience will begin with a guided tour of the award-winning Arbor Ridge K-8 School, showcasing innovative approaches to fostering a schoolwide culture of sustainability. 

The workshop will be based on vertically articulated Education for Sustainability (EfS) learning outcomes, highlighting exemplar curricula from sources including developmentally appropriate work in nature and place-based education, our work with the Oxford International Curriculum for Sustainability, and Mundo Verde Bilingual Public Charter School, along with a Scope and Sequence model designed for new Pre-K-12 schools.  

Starting with what is possible in early childhood, we’ll dive into work that is being done by a consortium of museum educators to develop a Climate Action Playbook, and then guide participants through a detailed structure of EfS articulation from ages 3-13. Participants will explore the framework’s applicability within their own contexts and engage with vertically articulated lessons to experience how complexity builds for students over time. 

Early bird registration is open until January 31.
