Interdisciplinary Teaching About Earth and the Environment for a Sustainable Future (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

Interdisciplinary Teaching about the Earth and Environment for a Sustainable Future presents the outcomes of the InTeGrate project, a community effort funded by the National Science Foundation to improve Earth literacy and build a workforce prepared to tackle environmental and resource issues. The InTeGrate community is built around the shared goal of supporting interdisciplinary learning about Earth across the undergraduate curriculum, focusing on the grand challenges facing society and the important role that the geosciences play in addressing these grand challenges. The chapters in this book explicitly illustrate the intimate relationship between geoscience and sustainability that is often opaque to students. The authors of these chapters are faculty members, administrators, program directors, and researchers from institutions across the country who have collectively envisioned, implemented, and evaluated effective change in their classrooms, programs, institutions, andbeyond. This book provides guidance to anyone interested in implementing change-on scales ranging from a single course to an entire program-by infusing sustainability across the curriculum, broadening access to Earth and environmental sciences, and assessing the impacts of those changes.

Rezensionen

"The book would be useful for others interested in interdisciplinary geoscience course development and assessment. The InTeGrate website can be utilized any instructor interested in using any of the Integrate courses, modules, and assessment materials." (Richard Smardon, Journal of Environmental Studies and Sciences, Vol. 9, 2019)
