Revised Inquiry Plan

Revised Budget

One Planet Faculty Fellows was designed by the Center for Sustainability and the Office of Campus Diversity, and holds a central philosophy that integrates environmentalism, equity, and social justice “to meet the needs of our growing population, while maintaining the health of our environment and working toward social, economic, and educational equality.” One Planet faculty want to know and understand the important transformative moments that occur when basic skills are discussed within a nexus of diversity and sustainability. The inquiry aims at understanding: How does teaching in a context of One Planet themes (i.e., ecological responsibility and educational equity) promote active learning and meaningful engagement; and particularly, what specific changes can be made in pedagogy and classroom practices to increase active learning and meaningful engagement?
