BOCES Workshop: Sustainability Education: What Is It? And How Do You Do It?
As the world grows increasingly complex, more and more teachers are looking for ways to integrate "sustainability education" into their classrooms. Sustainability education helps students focus on global resources and their use by developed and developing nations.
In an introductory workshop offered by the Center for Environmental Education at Putnam/Northern Westchester Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES), teachers can learn how to integrate sustainability education into their core curriculum. The two-day session will include: systems thinking, common pool resources, quality of life indicators, economic models, natural laws and principles, "upstream problem identification game," and the habits of mind that sustainability education instills in students.
The workshop will be presented by Jaimie P. Cloud, founder and president of the Cloud Institute for Sustainability Education in New York City, chair of the Green Map System, and chair of the Center for the Study of Expertise in Teaching and Learning. The course will be offered at Putnam/Northern Westchester BOCES Yorktown campus on June 25 and 26. Registration and an in-service fee of $185 is due by May 23. For more information, call (914) 248-2339.
