Sustainability Puzzle: Putting The Piece Together

'We will conserve only what we love, we will love only what we understand, and we will understand only what we are taught' Baba Dioum For me, this quote sums up what I am trying to accomplish. I believe that educators and the education industry have a wonderful opportunity to improve education for sustainability and at the same time set our students up better for the future of work with those sought after 21st-century skills. Now before we go any further it is important to acknowledge that our working understanding of what sustainability is and looks like in a modern day to day basis has a long way to go. I also want to highlight that I am not calling for a drastic or revolutionary change to schools. The point I am trying to make is we need to do a better job embedding more of an adaptive mindset in our curriculum and approaches to learning so that we can simultaneously make our schools better as sustainability and give our students experience and knowledge of what it means to make your world a better place.
