Over the past decade, pedagogical research has actively sought to articulate the ‘competencies’ students should develop through sustainability education, but, in the classroom, methods vary. This collection will feature various approaches to teaching sustainability topics in the classroom, field, experiential learning environment, community, or virtual space that illustrate an emerging sustainability pedagogy.<br class=""><br class="">Educators may be familiar with related terminology such as ‘demonstrated capabilities,’ or ‘learning outcomes,’ to identify and assess the learning objectives that are considered a core part of student education in sustainability. The practical approach emphasized here seeks to illustrate innovative approaches to teaching that define and contextualize the learning objectives of sustainability educators. Contributions can capture sustainability education a variety of contexts such as teaching students earning a degree in sustainability, incorporating sustainability into other related programs, or teaching sustainability across the curriculum, to name a few. </font><div class=""><font size="4" class=""><br class=""></font></div><div class=""><font size="4" class="">Topics may include, but are certainly not limited to the following:<br class=""><br class=""></font><div class=""><font size="4" class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>• how to educate students to be change agents<br class=""></font></div><div class=""><font size="4" class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>• campus/community engaged learning<br class=""></font></div><div class=""><font size="4" class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>• inclusive pedagogies meaningful to a diverse student population<br class=""></font></div><div class=""><font size="4" class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>• teaching skills for sustainability careers<br class=""></font></div><div class=""><font size="4" class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>• fostering critical thinking in sustainability pedagogy<br class=""></font></div><div class=""><font size="4" class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>• how to teach systems thinking<br class=""></font></div><div class=""><font size="4" class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>• gaining competency through traditional Indigenous knowledge<br class=""></font></div><div class=""><font size="4" class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>• pedagogies addressing climate grief and anxiety<br class=""></font></div><div class=""><font size="4" class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>• narratives of impact on students<br class=""></font></div><font size="4" class=""><div class=""><font size="4" class=""><br class=""></font></div>We are especially seeking contributions that illustrate a core element of your course or program not captured by current discussions.
