The lens of sustainability transforms curriculum, school operations, physical surroundings and school-community activities and fosters the creation of responsible citizens
About
Professional development:The concepts of sustainability are universal, but every district and school starts from a different place in implementing sustainability education. CELF customized professional development (PD) helps schools infuse curriculum and school culture with education for a sustainable future. PD services include: gap analyses of curriculum maps; on-site Education for Sustainability training and resources (specific to grade level and school or district needs and interests); and review of facilities "green" improvements to help infuse projects into curriculum. We provide a framework for integrating sustainability concepts into existing curricula, and review curriculum exemplars and case studies on implementation of sustainability education at other schools. Presenters answer questions, provide feedback and share lesson plans and curricular materials.Professional Learning Model: CELF's three-tiered professional learning model engages educators in interactive learning experiences that help them view their work with students through the lens of sustainability. CELF's facilitators work side-by-side with educators as they design programs that integrate both the Big Ideas of Sustainability and Education for Sustainability (EfS) practices and principles into their existing curricula while creating EfS classrooms and school-wide learning opportunities.Citizen Science in School Communities Program: Tailored to each school and community location, this program engages educators and students in project-based STEAM learning outside of the classroom. As environmental health researchers, students collect and analyze air quality data in their communities using IOT technology. Using this data, students are able to identify sources of air pollution, understand connections to human behaviors and develop and present prevention and remediation plans for their communities.
