Best Practice Cases of Education for Sustainability in Educational Development

This project entailed researching best practices of Education for Sustainability (EfS) in educational development to stimulate and support educational developers (EDs) to incorporate EfS into their practices. Best practices were identified by gathering cases through interviews with expert EfS practitioners from across Canada. Its focus is on practices that support post-secondary teachers to embed sustainability themes and outcomes within courses and programs. An outcome of this work has been the development and sharing of video interviews that demonstrate the diversity of ways in which EDs contribute to EfS. These video resources are available on public websites including the Educational Developers Caucus EfS Action Group, the Resource Repository for Sustainability and Leadership, Simon Fraser University, George Brown College and University of British Columbia.
