Professional Learning Services
The goal of our professional learning services is to help create a purposeful and coherent core curriculum across grade levels and disciplines that educates students for a sustainable future.
Professional learning is offered on-site and on-line for faculty, administrators, and other school community members when appropriate. The classic Cloud Institute’s Introduction to Education for Sustainability (EfS) is two full days and can be followed over time by deeper EfS content sessions, curriculum development, mapping, alignment, integration and assessments for learning, resources and exemplars, strengths assessments, audits and capacity building.

Short Term Services
Each of our short term services can run in length from a half-day (Awareness, Skill Development) to five days (Design and Leadership) depending on the depth of knowledge and skills desired.
Long Term Services
Our long term services can run in length from one year to ten years. The length of each engagement depends on the readiness, the needs and the aspirations of each individual client. Some places have been educating for sustainability for a long time and others are only just beginning. Whatever your situation, we can tailor a program or service to meet your needs.
