Projects in Development

In order to meet the needs of an ever-changing educational environment, we are continually developing and improving our curriculum units and training programs.  

Our newest curriculum projects are based on the concepts of Sustainable Agriculture; Sustainable Architecture and Green Buildings; The Sustainability of Freshwater Resources; and An Introduction to System Thinking and Sustainability. Test versions of some of the activities in these units can be downloaded from our website.  Teachers, if you’d like to pilot some of these activities in your classroom, we would appreciate any feedback you can provide.

We’re also looking for sponsors to assist in the development of these curricula and associated trainings.  Your contribution will have a positive affect on thousands of students across the United States.

Some samples of beta versions of curricula in development are listed below:

Systems Thinking and Sustainability

• Language Arts: Defining Sustainability
• Science: Systems, Subsystems, Components and Influence
• Language Arts: On the Move with the 3Es
• Math: Triangle Triage – The Decision Grid
• Social Studies: The Story of Stuff

Sustainable Agriculture

Sustainable Architecture

• Social Studies: The Continent Game
• Math: Geometric Shapes in Architecture

The Sustainability of Freshwater Resources

We're also exploring the possibility of offering condensed, online versions of our Professional Training Institutes for graduate credit through the Colorado School of Mines. Please visit our calendar for updates on this exciting new initiative.
