    ONE colleagues,

    Here is a new resource for instructors on teaching sustainability competencies across programs.

    Tyra Byers, Wes Dripps, Aditi Garg, Florence Grüter, Rebecca Watts Hull, Veronica Johnson, Eundeok Kim, Aya Hirata Kimura, Nicholas Poggioli, Patricia Szczys, Ashwani Vasishth, & Grace Wang. (2024). Teaching Sustainability Competencies across the Disciplines: A Guide for Instructors. The Scaling Up Sustainability Across the Curriculum Community of Practice, Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE). https://storage.googleapis.com/hub-private/Teaching_Sustainability_Competencies_-_Aug_2024.pdf

    Introduction: Members of AASHE's Scaling Up Sustainability Across the Curriculum Community of Practice produced this guide for instructors in our curriculum development workshops and for others who seek to integrate sustainability across the curriculum in higher education.
    Our goals were to:
    • Help instructors understand the similarities and differences among the sustainability competencies frameworks produced by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the revised version, entitled the Key Competencies in Sustainability Framework (KCSF), so that instructors can decide whether to teach with one or both of these frameworks, and can map connections among the sets of competencies and ways of teaching them.
    • Support instructors to integrate sustainability competencies into their courses by identifying and developing curricular and pedagogical resources, resources for assessing student learning, and relevant examples of the scholarship of teaching and learning in this field.
