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

If your course is too full of content already and rejigging to include sustainability is not possible, consider how you can make more explicit to your students the sustainability competencies they may be learning in your class, such as collaboration, futures thinking or systems thinking.

The next section provides an example of how a rubric can help support learner development of sustainability competencies.
