This is a four-week asynchronous course.
A message to those of us who are new to sustainability: Thi
s course will not offer enough time\, space or capacity for us to reflect
deeply enough to transform ourselves into sustainability educators. But th
at’s ok. We can be educators who weave sustainability into related aspects
of our industries and disciplines. This course is designed to offer us so
me time and space to start thinking about how we relate t
o the natural world in all its forms and how this might impact our teachin
g practice. As you go through these modules\, consider where there might b
e potential for you to engage with these ideas on your own time\, through
collaboration with others\, and ultimately through interactions with stude
nts.
