The OVERBook Project on the Environment and Sustainability

2018 Fellows Program

Specific Program Objectives:

1. To build the learning capacity of K-12 and community college educators in the field of environmental and sustainability studies and provide an opportunity for K-14 educators to create study guides with educator resources, publish them and share them with their colleagues at their schools and community colleges.
2. To create study guides with educator resources for K-12 and community college educators, which will be piloted and published online to accompany the OVERBook as a tool to inspire and teach K-12 and community college students about global environmental issues.
