Trailblazers for whole school sustainability
xxiv, 277 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm.
What does it take to prepare students, teachers and school staff to shape a just and sustainable future? In Trailblazers for Whole School Sustainability, you will meet educators and school leaders who are on the front lines of reimagining school through the lens of sustainability. This book features inspiring stories from around the country, from urban and rural schools and districts that highlight best practices and lessons learned from teachers, administrators and students as they transformed their school communities for a just and sustainable future. These stories are structured around a practical framework that demonstrates how this work allows schools and districts to work smarter, not harder, by integrating sustainability and systems thinking into leadership, curriculum and instruction, culture and climate and facilities and operations. While each school and district's story in this book is different, the passion that drives each one to embrace sustainability in everything they do, from operations to curriculum, remains the same. Trailblazers for Whole School Sustainability shows what is possible when educators resolve to blaze a trail to reimagine K-12 education for a just and sustainable future.
