Fall into Sustainability Workshop: Nov. 14th

Join local teachers to explore CELF’s Big Ideas of Sustainability and how they relate and connect to your current curriculum.

What do the key practices and principles of Education for Sustainability look like in action? Participants will build conceptual understanding of the 12 Big Ideas of Sustainability through interactive games, discussion and small group work. Concepts like interdependence, cycles, equilibrium and long-term effects can be readily connected to existing curriculum. CELF will share real world models that put the Big Ideas of Sustainability into practice across content areas and grade levels. CELF will support participants as they learn to identify and emphasize the Big Ideas at play in their classroom, school and community. 

Come join us and build your teacher team!

From past CELF workshop participants: 

Working with CELF led to a more meaningful real­-world instruction and learning experience with my students. The students were able to make connections with what they are learning in class and the reality of environmental problems and the solutions we could apply.

Students learn more effectively when they see the connection between content and their lives, and EfS supports this connection.

From the brainstorming of ideas, learning about place, understanding the Big Ideas and incorporating them into Sustainable Projects, it encompasses all the necessary skills students need in order to be college-ready.

Cost: $30 per teacher, $25 if you bring a colleague. Eligible for 2 CTLE credits.

Light snacks provided.
