How we teach about climate change is critical to our response as a global population. Educators adopt a longitudinal view on the outcomes of their daily efforts—guiding each generation with hope and possibility. How do we communicate the loss of what might be called a pact between the generations to the next generation? This course offers an intensive opportunity to explore issues related to teaching climate change in K-12.
How do we raise children to become good people and lead good lives? This course explores these questions. We’ll focus on four main pillars of a good life—morality, love, hope and purpose—and on the capacities children need to develop to be moral, to engage in gratifying, ethical romantic relationships and to find hope and purpose.
This course examines key contemporary educational global challenges and debates, focusing on options to effect systemic change in public education systems.
This course is an action-oriented introduction to theory and practice toward socially just education that enables all young people to thrive in settings of uncertainty.
