Facing the Future Releases K-4 Curriculum on Global Sustainability

 

Facing the Future* is pleased to announce the release of Teaching Global
Sustainability in the Primary Grades: A K-4 Curriculum Guide, a
standards-aligned resource that addresses core concepts related to
sustainability while encouraging critical thinking and a systems perspective
among young students. The curriculum guide includes four lessons that
explore topics including identity and culture, food, biodiversity, and
systems. This curriculum features hands-on activities, teacher background
reading, vocabulary, service learning projects, and assessment rubrics.




 




    "I am delighted by these lessons. I found:

*	Complete lessons (from A to Z, from "An Overview" to "Reproducible
Handouts")
*	Creative, imaginative learning activities that 'get' primary-grade
children
*	Key issues/concepts are identified along with inquiry questions for
each lesson
*	Challenging content. I don't know that I've seen a better
introduction to problem solving for primary children"

                                                ~ Dr. Walter Parker,
Professor of Education, University of Washington
