ASU Sustainability Teachers Academy

The Sustainability Teachers Academy provides educators with the knowledge and resources needed to bring the science of sustainability into any K-12 classroom.

Our professional development opportunities integrate research conducted by professionals, scientists and scholars from Arizona State University’s Rob Walton College of Global Futures. We have translated this research into effective practices that teachers can use to evaluate and address the most relevant problems facing their schools or communities. We promote researcher-practitioner partnerships, learning communities and project-based opportunities to position our participating teachers, students and others as change agents to create a more sustainable future.

We have 3 different types of professional learning opportunities: 1. Our online course which serves as a foundational professional development opportunity for educators eager to incorporate sustainability topics into their existing curriculum. It is currently offered as an online, asynchronous program for teachers of all grade levels. 2. We have learning labs which were developed as a platform for local educators to engage with and implement sustainable practices in classrooms and communities alike. 3. We offer fellowships as well. These provide valuable opportunities for educators to build professional connections, enhance their skills and contribute directly to the sustainability field while gaining hands-on experience.

Our online course is available for free, is asynchronous, and anyone can enroll at anytime. Educators can complete our contact form to find out about new learning lab and fellowship opportunities.
