Prioritizing Sustainability Education presents theory-to-practice essays and case studies by educators from six countries who elucidate dynamic approaches to sustainability education. Too often students graduate with exploitative consumer-driven orientations toward ecosystems and are unprepared to confront the urgent challenges presented by environmental degradation. Educators are prioritizing sustainability-oriented courses and programs that cultivate studentsâ knowledge skills and values and contextualize them within relational connections to local and global ecosystems. Little has yet been written however about the comprehensive sustainability education that educators are currently designing and implementing often across or at the edges of disciplinary boundaries. The approaches described in this book expand beyond conventional emphases on developing studentsâ attitudes knowledge and behaviors by thinking and talking about ecosystems to additionally engaging students with ecosystems in sensory affective psychological and cognitive dimensions as well as imaginative spiritual or existential dimensions that guide environmental care and regeneration. This book supports educators and graduate and upper-level undergraduate students in the humanities social sciences environmental studies environmental sciences and professional programs in considering how to reorient their fields toward relational sustainability perspectives and practices. .
