“Teaching sustainability” is a course that aims at providing teachers who want to develop their teaching on sustainability with the opportunity to discuss and collaborate with peers on the topic, and to document their shared reasoning. This could include developing whole courses, course modules or ways to include aspects of sustainability in any course. The course addresses several global challenges we face, including poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace, and justice.
During this course, we will have the opportunity to
- read and hear about relevant and helpful literature
- carry out a group project on an issue chosen based on personal relevance (e.g., a lesson plan, teaching material, list of sustainability aspects to be included in a given course)
- write a documentation of, and reflection on, the project so other teachers can learn from it, to be shared on https://teachingsustainability.blogg.lu.se
- present and get feedback from other teachers at a presentation to other LU teachers at the course’s last meeting.
The course corresponds to 2 weeks full-time work. Note that you need to put in more work than just the scheduled meetings:
- Wed 13/3 13:15 -16:00
- Tue 9/4 13:15 -16:00
- Tue 7/5 13:15 -16:00
- Tue 4/6 13:15 -16:00
For a pass on the course, participants must have attended the initial meeting and 75% of the scheduled activities, and also passed the project report.
The course will be facilitated in English.
