The Transformative Potential of Sustainability Education

As the school year begins, I am thinking a great deal about the revisions I've made over the past several months to my courses and curricula for graduate-level sustainability students. The field keeps changing, and so constant study is required to keep current. At the end of last week, I paused for a moment in my own preparation to visit with K-12 educators, parents and staff at the Ross School, to discuss their work at bringing sustainability education to their students. Ross is a very impressive preK-12 educational institution on the east end of Long Island that brings an extraordinarily high quality educational experience to their students and has also created an institute that disseminates its innovative curriculum.
