Course Description

Professor: 

This course provides an overview of the theory and practice of environmental sustainability as it relates to PK-16 schooling. It will explore the ecological design and construction of educational facilities, landscaping, food services, consumerism, and the importance of vernacular knowledge. The course will include a service learning component.  Graduate-level requirements include a 20-page essay that integrates themes from the various books read throughout the semester.

The idea is to include a service learning component to take place during two or three consecutive Saturday mornings.
