About the Workshop:

This workshop addresses sustainability for school districts.  Ensure that your schools are healthy and comfortable for students and teachers and that they are cost-effective.  Find out how the building design itself is a learning tool.  You will be inspired by examples of green schools featured in this workshop.  This workshop addresses questions such as:

• What is the best way to design a "green" school building?

• How can we make our older school buildings "greener"?

• 7 Steps to Start

• Taking Action

• How to become LEED Certified (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)

This online course is designed to deliver our regional workshop, Green Education Part II - Greening the School District, a two-day (14-hour) workshop, via distance learning.  Rather than physically traveling to a site and participating in face-to-face discussions and activities with fellow attendees, you will gain your knowledge via a variety of approaches:

• Online lessons delivered via text, video and audio formats

• Conducting your case study analyses online rather than in small discussion groups

• Presenting your findings and demonstrating your learning online rather than in person

• If enrolled with a team, you will be able to share your ideas in a Collaboration web page set up for your team

• You will receive individualized support via email from the facilitator.

Upon the conclusion of this workshop/course, and the presentation of your product, you will receive the same certificate of completion as participants who have attended this workshop on-site in various cities.  This may be presented to your school district for credit toward professional development hours.  Certificates are for 14 hours of professional development.

The pluses are that you will be able to conduct your studies on your own schedule and hours, and you will save money on air fare, hotels and meals.

The minuses are that you will not have the face-to-face interaction with other educators as they study, discuss, plan and share.
