As academic consensus solidifies around the names, content, and number of sustainability competencies, and as colleges and universities begin embracing the responsibility of helping students develop them within classroom, program, internship, and campus contexts, educators are asking good questions on how best to proceed.
What is a competency framework? Why are there so many different ones and which is right for me? What are the “8 key competencies” I hear so much about? How do faculty and deans articulate such competencies as learning or programmatic goals? What pedagogies work best in fostering them? How do they contribute to student employability? How do we assess such competencies? And how do they relate to quality assurance and institutional accreditation?
This webinar addresses these and related questions by looking at how institutions strive to build student sustainability competencies at both classroom and programmatic levels.
