Green Curriculum Defined

A co-hort of individuals drew on their own experiences and culled the educational literature on sustainability to create this definition of Green Curriculum. The working definition is a result of a years worth of talks over coffee, brainstorming sessions during committee meetings, and email-based discussions

An operational definition of Green Curriculum:

“Education that incorporates principles of sustainability enables all people to become effective, engaged, global citizens by empowering them with the knowledge, values & skills to promote a future that is socially just, and humane, economically viable, ecologically sound, supporting healthy quality of life and holistic well-being.”
