Teaching for Sustainable Communities: Empowering Eco-Literate Global Citizens (Long Beach & LA)
This institute is designed for an interdisciplinary study in teaching for environmental justice literacies and global competence. Teachers will examine sustainable communities through a  social, economic, spatial justice, and ecological equity lens. Starting with a 5-day summer synchronous and asynchronous institute, followed by 2 additional meetings during the year, and ending in a student environmental showcase, teachers will be supported with resources and opportunities for engagement throughout the year. Content and resources will be community responsive while focusing on environmental justice strategies for equity and civic engagement for all students. This institute also meets the California State Seal of Civic Engagement criteria.
 
Participants will:
* Explore the Environmental Principles and Concepts using a justice lens and examine how they are integrated into California frameworks and standards.
* Develop students' global competence while addressing the U.N. Sustainable Development Goal #11, Sustainable cities and communities.
* Provide students with the tools they need to become up-standers in their local and global communities.
* Develop a curriculum plan for a student environmental showcase in Spring 2022.
