SPOKANE CENTER FOR SUSTAINABILITY

The Spokane Center for Sustainability was created to provide sustainability education, outreach, and workforce training for the new green economy as it develops in the Inland Northwest... Through a National Science Foundation funded grant, we are offering a four-day summer workshop to interdisciplinary teaching teams. The goal is to help teams integrate sustainability and the sustainable skills desired by employers into their curriculum through problem-based learning communities. Ideally, teams will include one teacher from a STEM technical field and one that teaches courses in related instruction. For example, a community college engineering instructor paired with a technical writing instructor or a middle school math teacher paired with a language arts teacher. Larger teams or individuals will be considered if space is available.
