A brief description of the institution’s professional development opportunities on sustainability in the curriculum:
As a polytechnic university, Cal Poly has long made sustainability a centerpiece of its educational purpose. That dedication is reflected in the campus's Sustainability Learning Objectives (SLOs) articulated as essential educational components for all students in all majors. Momentum is building on campus, as evidenced by achieving a STARS Silver Rating in 2017 from the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE). This page assembles the various programs and services that CTLT offers campus educators to enhance and expand sustainability across the curriculum in support of the SLOs and the continued pursuit of advanced STARS ratings.
The CTLT and Cal Poly's Facilities Energy, Utilities, and Sustainability team invite faculty to apply for the CSU-wide Faculty Learning Community (FLC) in Teaching Climate Change and Resilience. This FLC will help participants think about teaching and learning focused on climate change and resilience. The goals for participants in this FLC are to:
Learn about and develop or modify course curriculum with a focus on climate change, climate justice, and resilience
Gain collegial support for teaching sustainability across the disciplines.
Work collaboratively to identify and design pedagogical approaches to teach students about sustainability problems paired with investigating possible solutions together
Conversations will be driven by the questions that emerge from participants’ particular course contexts.
$500 stipends are available for eligible employees who complete the FLC requirements.
