Environmental Sustainability in Practice

Case Studies

The following are two case studies of schools that are trying to embody the ideals of sustainability education, integrating the principles and concepts into every aspect of the curriculum. In fact, instead of trying to work within the formal education framework, these examples show innovative ways of restructuring the typical Western educational system. These examples are exceptions among how sustainability education is implemented worldwide, given some of the challenges we already discussed. Most implementation of sustainability education is rarely interdisciplinary with little if any community involvement, but rather it is an add-on to existing curriculum.
