Finger Lakes Project
Sustainability Curriculum Development Workshop
“Preparing our Students for the 21st Century through Sustainability Education”
Thursday, May 26 – Friday, May 27, 2016
Wells College, Aurora NY 13026
Developing 21st century leaders who understand their roles and responsibilities as global citizens requires a big-picture, “systems” approach to problem-solving. More faculty are responding to the need to infuse considerations of sustainability into courses within their academic discipline or to create wholly new interdisciplinary courses. “Bringing across” content from less familiar knowledge domains and integrating it within one’s disciplinary curricula – teaching “outside the lines” – requires specialized training and support.
The Finger Lakes Project is just such a specialized faculty training program to support sustainability curriculum development. In this 1-1/2 day training workshop, you will learn how to develop effective, assessable sustainability curricula. You will hear examples from other sustainability educators on how they successfully infused sustainability concepts into their courses. You will also learn about resources you can use to enhance sustainability education. You will also have time with the workshop facilitators and your fellow workshop colleagues to refine your own sustainability curriculum ideas.
Workshop fee: $100 including all meals and workshop materials.
On-campus lodging is available for $55 per night
