Sustainable Schools

Sustainable Schools teams graduate students, sustainability researchers, high-school teachers and students, and district administrators in a project designed to address the challenge of becoming a "sustainable school."

Each of the three partnering school districts will identify the aspects of sustainability they wish to measure, such as campus sustainability (food, facilities, landscaping, energy), community (safety, health, quality of life), or curriculum (graduation rates educational achievement, learning opportunities). Graduate-student researchers, under the supervision of faculty scientists, will help students and teachers develop a sound scientific method for assessing the sustainability of their schools on these multiple environmental, social, and economic dimensions. Fellows will also provide training on sustainability to teachers, career counselors, and community members.
