Program Description
Through practical examples and resources, educators will explore ways to cultivate a sense of environmental consciousness, social responsibility, and economic awareness in their students. By the end of the class, educators will be equipped with the tools to educate and inspire students of all ages as they develop into the next generation of sustainability leaders.
The class will take approximately 6 hours to complete with no homework assignments. Each of the 6 class lessons/modules of this dynamic multimedia course includes a short introduction, content for the participant to review (including videos, podcasts, readings, resources, etc.), a game or activity related to the content, and a required discussion post. Each lesson/module is estimated to take approximately one hour to complete. You will have 180 days (approx. six months) from the date of purchase to complete the class and download the certificate that grants 8 hours of professional development. For the best user experience, we recommend using a desktop/laptop but content can also be accessed on mobile devices. Certificates will only be awarded for full completion of the class.
