...the release of Teaching Global Sustainability in the Primary Grades: A K-4 Curriculum Guide, a standards-aligned resource that addresses core concepts related to sustainability while encouraging critical thinking and a systems perspective among young students. The curriculum guide includes four lessons that explore topics including identity and culture, food, biodiversity, and systems. This curriculum features hands-on activities, teacher background reading, vocabulary, service learning projects, and assessment rubrics. 

- “I am delighted by these lessons. I found:
- Complete lessons (from A to Z, from “An Overview” to “Reproducible Handouts”)
- Creative, imaginative learning activities that ‘get’ primary-grade children
- Key issues/concepts are identified along with inquiry questions for each lesson
- Challenging content. I don’t know that I’ve seen a better introduction to problem solving for primary children"

                     Dr. Walter Parker,
                     Professor of Education, University of Washington

All lessons included in this book have been reviewed and field tested by content experts, teachers, and students. To learn more about this brand new curriculum and to download a lesson for FREE
