Assessing the Impact of Sustainability Education
This webinar, presented by Georgia Institute of Technology’s Undergraduate Sustainability Education Innovation Program, will explore “How Are We Doing? Assessing the Impact of Sustainability Across the Curriculum Programs on Teaching and Learning.
In many cases, sustainability across the curriculum initiatives at colleges and universities are “bottom up,” slowly building cadres of faculty across disciplines that redesign courses to incorporate education for sustainability into teaching and learning. The distributed structure of these initiatives can make it challenging to assess impacts on teaching and learning at the institutional level.
In addition to discussing the research study, this session will invite participants to share and explore options to evaluate the impacts of education for sustainability initiatives, from ongoing, informal measures to major research studies. Participants will leave with a better understanding of how to evaluate, document, and disseminate the impacts of their programs.
Georgia Institute of Technology is one of the regional AASHE Centers for Sustainability Across the Curriculum. Centers host workshops and other professional development opportunities throughout the year.
