Guides

Organizations
Disciplinary Associations Network for Sustainability (DANS)
Sponsored by the US Partnership on Education for Sustainable Development, DANS is an informal network of professional associations working on:
- Professional development for association members
- Educating the public about sustainability
- Curricula, standards and tenure requirements to reflect sustainability
- Legislative briefings on what higher education can bring to sustainability related policies
- Cross disciplinary projects on education for sustainability
Teaching Psychology for Sustainability
http://www.teachgreenpsych.com/
“Our purpose is to provide a resource to help instructors begin integrating psychology and environmental issues in their courses. By no means is this an exhaustive compliation of all relevant literature and classroom materials, but it should provide ample inspiration to motivated instructors.
“Informally, the site represents a “who’s who” of instructors and researchers in the area. It is our hope that as more instructors make the links between psychology and sustainability, curricular connections between psychology and environmental education will become more common. We encourage those who are pedagogically inspired by this manual to become vocal advocates and curricular activists in pursuit of that goal.”
