Incorporate Sustainability Content Into Your Class


Some courses focus more on developing specific skills (courses focused on application) while others focus more on developing subject matter expertise (courses focused on depth/breadth of knowledge or on conceptual and methodological awareness)

To assess which of these your courses are, consider the following:

  • Is sustainability a focus in my sector? How is my sector addressing sustainability, and how can I bring that real-world component into my class?
  • Is there no way I can incorporate sustainability due to limitations of the course (such as a course that is beholden to certain accreditation standards)? If not, how can I help my students develop sustainability competencies, such as futures thinking, adaptability, systems thinking?
Let’s review some examples for ideas. Please continue to the next slide.
