Teaching Sustainability in Any Course
Teaching Sustainability in Any Course
Sponsored by the CTLT and the Academic Senate Sustainability Committee
This interdisciplinary workshop will investigate ways of augmenting existing courses to include a sustainability component as an adjunct learning outcome. In addition to exploring how the sustainability paradigm augments and enlivens existing curricula, we will also discuss how a sustainability-across-the-curriculum approach can foster a transformative educational experience within Cal Poly's community. Lunch will be provided.
