Mission and programs · 2022
Mission
The organization's mission is to establish sustainability as an integral part of every child's K-12 learning experience. Through early education we can equip students with the knowledge, skills and attitudes that will lead to a sustainable future for everyone. CELF programs use sustainability as an integrating context for teaching and learning, decision-making, civic engagement, community partnerships and campus practices. The lens of sustainability transforms curriculum, school operations, physical surroundings and school-community activities and fosters the creation of responsible citizens.

Civic ScienceInquiry to Action is a semester- or year-long program that engages educators and students in project-based STEAM learning outside of the classroom. Tailored to each school and community location, we offer professional learning workshops for teachers paired with on-site support to implement a project-based learning module that connects students to real-world challenges in their own neighborhoods. The program combines the development of 21st century skills with the motivation and creativity generated by solving a problem in students' own communities. Participants in the program will: Participate in a series of professional learning workshops and implement a project-based STEAM learning unit. Program Service Accomplishments: paired with on-site educator support; support students to collect data using various tools such the Flow air quality monitoring device; focus on inquiry pathways including air quality, water quality, and biodiversity while learning pedagogical principles that apply to a range of civic science learning opportunities; engage with local concerns through student-led inquiry.

Professional development and TrainingThe concepts of sustainability are universal, but every district and school starts from a different place in implementing sustainability education. CELF customized professional development (PD) helps schools infuse curriculum and school culture with education for a sustainable future. PD services include: gap analyses of curriculum; on-site Education for Sustainability training and resources (specific to grade level and school or district needs and interests); and review of facilities "green" improvements to help infuse projects into curriculum. We provide a framework for integrating sustainability concepts into existing curricula, and review curriculum exemplars.
