If you are interested in incorporating sustainability principles into your courses, consider attending the 3rd annual Duke Trillium Workshop on Sustainability Across the Curriculum, May 9, 2012, and/or becoming a Trillium Fellow and redesigning your course to include sustainability content and methods.
To apply complete the brief application form by Friday 5/4/2012.
The purpose of the Trillium Workshop on Sustainability Across the Curriculum is to provide opportunities for mentorship of faculty who wish to include concepts of sustainability in their course(s) syllabi in a meaningful way.
Through a partnership with the Office of the Dean and Vice Provost of Undergraduate Education at Duke, the workshop is free of charge to participants and a $500 stipend is provided for up to 10 Duke faculty who complete the workshop and the longer Fellowship program and redesign their courses to include sustainability components and methods.
Faculty participants will focus on thinking through
- concepts of sustainability and how these might be integrated into existing or new courses, and
- ways to use instructional technologies to increase sustainability in teaching.
Program participants will redesign their courses to incorporate instructional technologies to increase the sustainability of teaching and learning in their courses, incorporate concepts of sustainability into their course syllabi, become exemplars leading other faculty to teach in a more sustainable way, and assess the effectiveness of their course changes.
This year, the Duke-focused Workshop on Sustainability Across the Curriculum will take place at the Freeman Center for Jewish Life, with collaborative activities at the Duke SmartHome and Duke Community Garden.
