“Scaling Up” Sustainability Curricular Integration: How can we build upon “ground up” faculty development models to achieve Sustainability-Across-the-Curriculum that reaches EVERY student?
A growing number of colleges and universities have created professional development initiatives for instructors that help them incorporate sustainability principles and competencies into existing courses. Some of these institutions have sent staff or faculty leaders to workshops based on the Piedmont/Ponderosa model or have taken advantage of other AASHE webinars that share “from the ground up” approaches to effective faculty professional development in sustainability course integration. Sustainability integration workshops, faculty learning communities, and course development grants can support curricular innovation very effectively. At the same time, this approach can be slow-going and may not reach enough courses to ensure every student meets key sustainability learning outcomes and competencies by the time they graduate. How can we “scale up” sustainability across the curriculum and reach every student—when instructors are stretched thin and resources are limited?
If your college or university has sustainability across the curriculum faculty development opportunities in place and you are eager to identify ways to accelerate your impact, this strategy-oriented webinar is for you! We’ll discuss progress, challenges and visions for advancing curricular integration that reaches all students and we will learn from each other. The aim is for each of us to come away with at least one new idea-–a strategy we haven’t yet tried—that can help us “scale up” sustainability across the curriculum.
