5. Goal : Incorporate key concepts of sustainability into our courses Sustainability Move From A Branch The Course Trunk

6. Make sustainability concepts, skills, and “habits of mind” part of courses in ways that have curricular integrity and “standing” – both for faculty members and students. Sustainability Goal : Incorporate key concepts of sustainability into our courses

7. Learning Outcomes: 1.Identify possible integration points for sustainability and geoscience content. 2.Formulate a plan to integrate sustainability into at least one assignment in a course you currently teach. 3.Support participant’s in achieving personal outcomes. Goal: Incorporate Key Concepts of Sustainability into our Courses
