Sustainability curriculum available

Are you teaching your students about local watershed issues or the importance of empathy?  How about food security or climate resiliency? Or maybe zero waste through recycling and composting?

Whatever the focus, if you are engaging students in sustainability-themed lessons in or out of the classroom, then you should check out Learning Lab today! A one-stop for K-12 educators, Learning Lab features a fully searchable, curated catalogue of more than 500 lesson plans, interactive projects, assessment opportunities, and other multimedia resources – mapped to meet current educational standards, and available in English and Spanish.

This school year, educators from Lincoln Public Schools can access Learning Lab for free by participating in a User Feedback Program. If you commit to teaching at least four lessons from Learning Lab and providing feedback via online survey between November 2017-April 2018, you will receive a free subscription for a year, training on how to optimize your subscription, as well as up to $200 toward completing a sustainability project at your school.

Our vision is that all students will have access to a quality education where they are taught to think critically, engage in community affairs and graduate as sustainability and environmentally literate citizens. We cannot achieve this alone however, and that is why we are excited to work with you to understand how Learning Lab can help facilitate this from vision to reality.

Take a look through Learning Lab to discover best-in-class content and please contact Jenny Wiedower at jwiedower@usgbc.org or (202) 552-1372 to learn more about the benefits of participating in this program.
