Before students can connect with sustainability concepts though, educators must first understand them themselves. DCPS has leveraged partnerships with EcoRise’s curriculum experts and facilitators, and Perkins Eastman DC’s designers, to help teachers make authentic connections between core instructional concepts and the sustainable features of their schools. By connecting design teams with teachers and providing integrated, standards-aligned curriculum and hands-on resources, DCPS is empowering the next generation of green leaders to design sustainable schools and communities.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
In this session, participants will learn how green buildings support STEAM and project-based learning.
Participants will understand how to approach student challenges through a sustainability lens.
Participants will learn how to identify national and local partners that can provide valuable resources and increase student impact.
Attendees will learn how to access to free resources to foster environmental literacy and student innovation within their own school buildings.
