BRINGING SUSTAINABILITY TO OUR COMMUNITIES “My education and understanding of sustainability was very different and from a totally different perspective. …. this enables me to really look at my classroom and what I teach through a different lens. In doing this, growth can only naturally occur. Thank you.” -

TEACHING SUSTAINABILITY PRACTICES FOR THE VIRTUAL MIDDLE SCHOOL CLASSROOM Program Leads: David Sanchez, MCSI and Jon Kovach, UCLA Center X
Due to COVID-19, the Teach-the-Teacher program has been reimagined into an online, two-day workshop for regional middle school teachers. Adapting the program has provided unique opportunities to expand our reach and engages more deeply in the new challenge of hybrid teaching in the K-12 science classroom. The program reached its capacity of 22 teachers in under one week of promotion.
MCSI and Japanese Studies are working to develop a Teacher program centered around Japan, the 2021 Summer Olympics. and Sustainability. Originally planned for 2020, this program has been deferred to Summer 2021.
