In a series of posts, Peter has examined multiple literacies in general; ecological literacy and sustainability competencies in more detail; and a call for integrating ecological literacy as a moral literacy and sustainability competencies into educational leadership culture. In this webinar, Peter will introduce the basics of sustainability competencies to the SCC audience. He will draw upon his own research and thought leadership, as well as the workshops on sustainability competencies he has led with colleagues at the Penn State Sustainability Institute. He will also discuss a new white paper on sustainability competencies produced by his colleagues that incorporates ethical literacy as a competency. <br class=""><br class="">Peter Buckland works on academic and outreach programming at Penn State’s Sustainability Institute and is affiliate faculty in Educational Theory and Policy.
