EDU.3567 Education for Sustainability
In this course, students work to conceptualize sustainability as a social imperative and critical context for 21st Century learning. Through careful consideration of beliefs about the Earth's preferable versus probable future, students will develop a clear vision for a sustainable future and articulate changes that need to be made by individuals, local communities and countries if that vision is to be achieved. Students will use these needs analyses to assess current education policies, make policy recommendations and develop authentic school or program charters that can be used to guide curriculum development and instructional strategies within formal and informal educational settings.
