Env Educ for Sustain Future
This course engages teacher candidates in exploring how environmental education
can be integrated across the curriculum through a multi-disciplinary, systems
thinking approach. The course promotes active, experiential, and
outdoor learning, and some class time is spent connecting with the natural
environment within local contexts. There is a particular
focus on social and ecological justice, and human
relationships with the environment are examined
through the lens of multiple knowledge systems,
including Indigenous knowledges and ways of being. The
overall aim is to deepen teacher candidates’ ecological
literacy and sense of care for the environment, develop
their ability to think critically about environmental issues,
and learn to support youth in responding to the climate
crisis as active citizens working towards a more
sustainable future.
Prerequisites: Registration Status: B.Ed. Program.
