[WSCSS] share your thoughts on a new resource

[Laura Skelton]

Hello social studies educators,

Facing the Future (www.facingthefuture.org <http://www.facingthefuture.org/>
), a nonprofit education organization, is developing a high school textbook
on sustainability. We're looking for your input so we can create something
that will be useful for the widest possible range of educators.

The text will include an exploration of sustainability linked with major
global issues such as population, environment, consumption, conflict,
quality of life and poverty, while preparing students to be participatory
citizens and engage in meaningful solutions. It will include positive
real-world examples, emphasize critical thinking, and illustrate systems
interconnections. 

We want to know what kind of text will be most helpful for you in your
school. Please take our short 9-question survey by clicking on this link:

Also, I encourage you to forward this opportunity to other high school
social studies educators.  If you would like additional information, please
contact me at laura at facingthefuture.org. 

Thanks very much,

 

Laura Skelton
