Registration Deadline is Jan. 21! The Teaching and Practice of Environmental Sustainability for K-12 Educators Course at RI College will begin on 1/25.
Taught by Dr. Mark DeMoranville, Apeiron's Director of Sustainable Business Training & Education, this course will:
• explore a selection of the classics of environmental literature,
• discuss and debate the concept, in theory and practice, of sustainable living from a range of perspectives,
• examine arguments pro and con for moving towards more sustainable patterns of economy and socio-cultural values,
• demonstrate examples of effective lesson plans and activities on sustainability
The course will be held Tuesdays from 4:00-7:00 pm at RIC starting January 25 and running through May 3.
Teachers will be challenged to draw from their own expertise, using their content knowledge and classroom experience to design innovative units that integrate the lessons of sustain-ability in ways that will inspire students. Further, they will be asked to consider ways they can advocate, in their schools and districts, and among colleagues, students and the larger school community, for moving towards a greater emphasis on sustainability as a teaching and learning priority.
