What is the world our students will inhabit, sustain, or create?

Sustainable communities thrive when people are civically engaged and make decisions based on social, economic, and environmental justice.

Can we take new lessons from our collective pandemic experience to re-think our individual choices?

Join other K-12 educators across Los Angeles County for this virtual professional development.

This professional learning opportunity focuses on the UN. Sustainable Development Goals #11 and 12, Sustainable Cities and Communities diving deeply into the choices we make around Responsible Production and Consumption while bringing together K-12 educators in LA County who want to further explore:

• Increasing critical academic, geographic, economic and media literacies 

• Connections to local resources and individuals, including those who are creating different models for living and working consistent with evidence and values

• Design thinking with an equity focus to understand and re-imagine sustainable and just solutions for the local/global community

• Co-creating with their students a learning environment that promotes global competence and directly connects with the critical local/global issues they are most passionate about and how to individually and collectively design solutions that grow student agency

• Developing a community of practice with other like-minded educators as a place to share ideas, concerns and solutions

Teachers and students co-create productive, respectful, and sustainable cultures/practices that begin in the classroom and extend into local and global communities. This program will support educators in creating classroom practices that emphasize student agency, promote asset-based instructional practices, and contribute to global sustainable development goals.
