Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to invite you to two upcoming workshops at AASHE Centers for Sustainability Across the Curriculum <http://www.aashe.org/partners/centers-for-sustainability-across-the-curriculum/>. In partnership with AASHE, these events are designed to accelerate the infusion of sustainability content into the curriculum by increasing the availability and accessibility of sustainably focused faculty development opportunities. The centers’ events are available to all faculty anywhere.
What: 2017 Mississippi Project VII: “Green Curriculum, Green Campus, Green Community” <http://www.aashe.org/calendar/curriculum-workshop-siue/> Where: Southern Illinois University Edwardsville – The Center for Spirituality and Sustainability When: August 14, 8-5 Registration Deadline: August 9 Contact person: Connie Frey Spurlock, [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Description: The workshop will explore how we can meaningfully integrate the sustainability – broadly defined – into our classrooms. The workshop will also introduce the new SIUE Successful Communities Collaborative as a new sustainability initiative. Though we start by taking a close look at SIUE and the larger St. Louis region, we invite participants to think glocally. Members of the campus and local community will facilitate and catalyze a discussion of a green curriculum and its integration and role in the broader community. Participants will have opportunities to extend research and teaching horizons across disciplines and create new networks with fellow colleagues from SIUE and the region. What: Sustainability Across the Curriculum Pre-Conference Faculty Workshop <http://umacs.org/registration/> Where: Central College, Pella, Iowa When: Sept. 28-29, 2017 Registration Deadline: September 15 Contact person: Brian Campbell <mailto:[email protected]> Description: This UMACS <http://umacs.org/conferences/> pre-conference workshop will give participants the tools to design a new sustainability-focused course, and/or redesign an existing course, course unit, or assignment. The workshop will introduce key sustainability concepts, pedagogical approaches (e.g. integrating service learning & “campus as a living laboratory” projects), and strategies for transforming departmental or campus curriculum. The workshop will be led by experienced faculty representing the natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, arts, and professional programs. Participants will be paired with discipline-specific mentors to support course and curriculum development both during and after the event, and to enhance regional sustainability networks. Additionally, mark your calendar for tomorrow's webinar "Greening the Heart of Postsecondary Education <http://www.aashe.org/calendar/greening-postsecondary-education/>” 3-4 p.m. ET. Presented by Julie Johnston, Associate Faculty, Royal Roads University, this webinar will present the rationale for transformative changes at the postsecondary level: in curriculum, in how we teach and in institutional behavior.
