Please join the CEHS tomorrow, October 8^th at 6pm, JH 132, for a discussion with a group of recent Seton Hall graduates who are employed locally as secondary school teachers.  

A diverse group of young teachers will discuss how to make the most of your field experiences and student teaching, what cooperating teachers and administrators expect of you in your field placements, how to make sure you get as much experience as possible during internships, and how to use those experiences to discuss your teaching skills with future employers!  Your questions will be invited as well – so please mark this opportunity on your calendars now!

In order to support our Secondary Education program with this endeavor, KDP will offer students 5 Honor Stole Points for full attendance.

Webinar - October 3: Global Sustainability Education

Reminder for Upcoming Webinar
Global Sustainability Education: From Issues to Solutions
Kimberly Corrigan, Director of Partnerships
Dave Wilton, Manager of Professional Development 
Sheeba Jacob, Director of Curriculum Development

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.
