Whole School Approaches to Educating for Sustainability

Are you an in-service teacher interested in improving the sustainability of your school?

This summer, EcoSource, in partnership with York University’s Faculty of Education, is offering a university-recognized certificate course in educating for sustainability. The course will focus on whole school approaches to greening school culture, curriculum, and practices.

The course includes field trips, guest speakers, and York University’s Summer of Sustainability Symposium.

This year, the course has also been integrated into the Environmental Science Part 1 AQ offered by York University.

Join us at York University this summer, July 12th to 16th, for this exciting professional development opportunity.

For more information about the certificate course and the AQ, contact Katya Seckar at EcoSource:
