Thursday, Oct. 3, 8-9:15 PM EDT
Global Sustainability—balancing economic, societal, and environmental needs in our interconnected world—offers a powerful framework for developing students’ skills, knowledge, and their sense of agency for successful schooling, career, family life, and citizenship in the 21st century. Using student-centered inquiry into real world issues and age-appropriate, teacher-tested materials makes for dynamic learning.
In this interactive webinar, attendees receive tools and professional development on how to teach about global issues and sustainable solutions in engaging and thought-provoking ways for students in K-5, middle school, and high school, including:
- Understanding
of the concept of sustainability and how to use it as a framework for
teaching,
- Examining
issues from multiple perspectives using the habits of critical and
creative thinkers, and
- Experiencing
interdisciplinary lessons and best practices that tie global issues such
as climate change, resource consumption, income inequality, and
sustainable development to social studies, science, and math.
