2018-2019 World View Fellows Resources

The OVERBook Project on the Environment and Sustainability

World View’s 2018 Fellows Program was an interdisciplinary professional learning opportunity that deepened educators’ understanding of contemporary global environmental issues and resources for teaching about these issues. This program culminated in the creation of study guides with educator resources created by World View Fellows in connection with the Population Institute’s OVERBook.
