From the Preface:
In response to intensifying and overlapping social and ecological crises, instructors are increasingly called upon to prepare students with competencies necessary to develop and implement solutions.
This important publication – a joint project of the Sustainability Curriculum Consortium (SCC) and the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE) – highlights innovative approaches faculty are employing to meet this challenge head on.
Our goal in initiating this project was to provide practical guidance on how to effectively teach sustainability competencies, which are starting to be embedded in institutional learning goals and program accreditation standards. As achieving sustainability will require active engagement of many fields of study and professions, we were particularly interested in stories from outside of sustainability/environmental studies. Encouragingly, the contributions to this book demonstrate clearly that sustainability competencies can indeed be fostered in a wide variety of disciplinary and institutional contexts and via different pedagogies. We hope the stories in this book will provide you with inspiration and ideas for developing sustainability competencies among your students.
