Sustainability Education Summer Institute 2011
Posted by on April 04, 2011
The Sustainability Education Summer Institute 2011 (now in our 3rd year) will be held July 25-27, 2011 at IslandWood in Seattle, WA. SESI is a rich and vibrant opportunity for K-12 teachers and administrators and teacher education faculty and administrators to deepen their knowledge of education for sustainability (EfS) and apply it to their schools and programs.
The 3-day institute, held on the beautiful and sustainably built IslandWood campus on Bainbridge Island, is the perfect setting for collaborative and reflective learning. Participants have the opportunity to experience practical strategies and design curriculum and programs that integrate sustainability into classes, schools, and districts.
