Introduce Sustainability to Your Course (Workshop) | Seneca Business: Principles for Responsible Management Education | Seneca Polytechnic

Hello Seneca Business,

 

You are all invited to the first of many workshops available to faculty to reimagine their courses, through the sustainability lens.

 

As one of the main pillars of Au Large, Seneca is moving forward with incorporating sustainability into its curriculum and practice. At Seneca Business, Sustainability is our passion and as a UN PRME signatory we have been working on many initiatives to introduce this important topic to all aspects of our work.

 

This two-part workshop is designed to discuss the strategies you can use to integrate sustainability to your courses.

 

 

Lara McInnis is the facilitator of both parts. Lara is a professor in Seneca’s Teaching and Learning Centre. She is passionate about sustainability in the classroom, the interdisciplinary collaboration that it encourages, and its potential to foster transformative learning experiences. 

 

After attending a faculty session on the UN Sustainable Development Goals in 2018 she began integrating sustainability into her English courses. She noticed right away that students not only care deeply about these complex issues, but that student motivation, course feedback and academic performance drastically improved. 

 

Since then, she has collaborated on sustainability competency development, presented at a global conference on sustainability in higher education, and co-planned sustainability events. 

 

 

To be mindful of your schedule, two sessions are offered for each part of the workshop as below:

 

Part 1: Wednesday, September 21, 2022, 1pm to 3pm at A1531A

Part 2: Wednesday, October 12, 2022, 1pm to 3pm at A1531A

 

Part1: Friday, September 23, 2022, 10am to 12pm online only

Part1: Friday, October 14, 2022, 10am to 12pm online only

 

You will receive a calendar invite for both groups. Please RSVP for the one that works with your schedule.
