Are you preparing your students to be engaged and thoughtful citizens in a changing world? A population who understands sustainability, a concept that transcends academic and professional silos, is crucial in order to deliberately—and equitably—respond to the social, economic, and environmental realities we face. During this day and a half-long workshop, participants can expect to: develop an authentic connection between sustainability and their own content area using the United Nations Global Goals as a guiding framework; explore pedagogy for place-based education and best practices for use in course development; examine resources for building engaging sustainability-related curricula; create at least one sustainability focused learning activity and/or assignment to implement in an existing course.  As an optional extension, participants may stay the afternoon of day two to work on their sustainability curriculum while having access to support from curriculum designers and other specialists.
