Description

Are you interested in creating opportunities for students to learn about sustainability in your course?

Join CTE staff and fellow instructors to brainstorm ideas and create a plan to incorporate sustainability into one of your own assessments. We will start with a guided discussion to learn from your colleagues. We will share existing sustainability-themed assessments from across disciplines and relevant resources. CTE staff will be available to answer your questions while you work on your assessment design.
