“Character-based Education”

Edward Quevedo
Foresight+Innovation Lab

This webinar will engage attendees on three essential elements of intersectionality in Sustainability Education: citizenship and sustainable development, character development in young learners, and the future of a sustainable society.  We will discuss and ideate relative to an established character-based learning model for secondary school and undergraduate application, assessment of learning tools for this model, and context related to ecosystems vibrancy, citizenship and leadership, and finding one’s calling in the work world. Attendees will come away with practical techniques for applying these modalities in their own institutes of learning and applied research.

Ed Quevedo directs the Regenerative Design Program within The Foresight+Innovation Lab, a collaborative advisory and creative agency composed of educators, policy innovators, social entrepreneurs, sustainability practitioners, and non-profit leaders working together to build the New Regenerative Economy (NRE). The New Regenerative Economy (NRE) is a fundamental reframing of the conventional consumer economy, grounded on integrity, sufficiency, social justice, and ecological regeneration, rather than consumption, exploitation, and the destruction of ecosystems in the relentless pursuit of profit.  As a senior creative and trusted advisor, he has worked internationally and domestically guiding and advising some of the world’s most iconic and highly regarded companies, philanthropies, institutions of higher learning, and civil society organizations.  Prior to launching the Lab with his fellow Agents in early 2017, he served as a Research Affiliate at the Institute for the Future in Palo Alto, California, where he directed their program in Regenerative Future Economies, and contributed to the Institute’s Peace and Social Justice Lab. Ed has led practice groups in Strategy, Foresight and Innovation, Environmental Law, and Sustainable Development at some of the most respected law firms and creative agencies in North America and around the world, including Pillsbury Winthrop, LLP of San Francisco, WSP Environment & Energy of London, UK, and Reos Partners of Oxford, UK and Cambridge, Massachusetts.  

Ed has also enjoyed an extensive history of service in higher education. From 2013 to 2016, Ed was Faculty in Sustainable Enterprise at the Lorry I. Lokey Graduate School of Business & Public Policy at Mills College, and Director and Senior Research Fellow at the Mills College Center for Socially Responsible Business. Ed also served was on the Faculty at Presidio Graduate School, where he held the chair as Dean of the Faculty. From 2003 through 2010, he was faculty within the Green MBA® Program of the School of Business and Leadership at Dominican University of California. Ed holds the A.B. in Philosophy from UCLA, and the Juris Doctor from U.C. Berkeley’s Boalt Hall School of Law and the Boalt Hall Program in Jurisprudence and Social Policy. He makes his home in Northern California, where he continues to learn from his children and the local communities he is privileged to serve.
