| Course Description: This course on simple sustainability and climate education offers teachers the unique opportunity to delve deeper into global environmental issues on a local level. Situated within the setting of a sustainable hydroponic greenhouse, this course on water, waste and energy allows teachers to learn more about current environmental concerns through a blend of technology, discussion, and hands-on projects In addition, guest speakers, informative tours, videos and educational games offer a holistic approach to learning about real world environmental problems and how they affect different cultures, especially in terms of environmental racism. This six day course will consist of 5 in person sessions and 1 remote session, both followed by 2.5 hours of independent asynchronous readings and projects that will be due two weeks after the final session. The asynchronous work will allow participants apply their knowledge of water, energy, and waste to demonstrate their designs of lessons, games, and interactive activities about environmental justice for their students. All asynchronous assignments must be submitted by August 8th in order to receive full credit. |
