Educating for Sustainability Across the Middle School Curriculum

This Lab is an ongoing practicum, convening teacher leaders, student leaders, and community leaders in building a new, school-wide model for how educating “for” sustainability, not just “about” sustainability, (EfS) can engage students in problem-based, placed-based learning, systems thinking across the curriculum, and civic action in the communities where they live, especially as aligned with city climate action plans and equity outcomes. Our host, Pine Lake Middle School in the Issaquah School District is pursuing this path and we welcome any and all teams from other middle schools developing parallel strategies.
