Does the institution have an ongoing program that offers incentives for academic staff in multiple disciplines or departments to develop new sustainability courses and/or incorporate sustainability into existing courses? :
A brief description of the incentive program(s):
CSU-Wide Faculty Learning Community (FLC): Teaching Climate Change and Resilience is offered at least annually and is a collaborative effort system-wide. Meeting in seven biweekly 90-minute sessions throughout the semester, faculty learn about and develop/modify course curriculum with a focus on climate change, climate justice, and resilience. Other goals include gaining collegial support for teaching sustainability across the disciplines, plus working collaboratively to identify and design pedagogical approaches to teach students about sustainability problems paired with investigating possible solutions together.
A brief description of the incentives that academic staff who participate in the program(s) receive:
Faculty who are selected to participate and meet the goals of the FLC receive a stipend. Anticipated outcomes are the redesign of significant portions of a course to integrate climate change and resilience into student learning, a complete Model Course Redesign portfolio, and a recorded audio-visual "lightning talk".
