Teacher Training
Systems Thinking & Sustainability K-12 Teacher Training
Client: Systainability Asia
Date: 2023- 2024
Summary: As a Civic and Environmental Education (CEE) Change Fellow with the North American Association for Environmental Education (NAAEE) in 2023, I completed a one year teacher training project through partnership with the nonprofit Compass Education to empower education in North American with systems thinking tools to incorporate greater sustainability into their education practice.
Learning Format: virtual teacher training project
Project Overview
Design and build a virtual learning module using the VISIS Pyramid and interactive whiteboard Miro to teach participants how to use systems thinking to innovate for a circular economy. This was the summative synthesis module in a Sustainability and Circular Economy Leadership course.
The Goal
Through collaboration with the subject-matter experts on the Systainability Asia team, I utilized my knowledge of the Pyramid tool and Miro to develop curriculum and content for an 8-hour interactive module applying systems thinking to create a ‘Circular Economy Blueprint’ for an Asian city scenario, linked with the UN SDGs. We recruited facilitators to review and assist with facilitating the module.
The Learning Experience
30 mid- to senior-level individuals working in government, civil sector, NGOs, or the private sector in Asia with new tools and knowledge to apply systems thinking to circular economics and create more sustainable cities.
A replicable curriculum and learning resource for Systainability Asia to utilize in future training and courses.
