Lewis & Clark professor prepares teachers to teach sustainability issues
Greg Smith, professor of teacher education at Lewis & Clark, received a $19,380 grant from the Oregon Community Foundation to train teachers on environmental issues. The grant aims to increase the number of teachers implementing sustainability projects in schools, and increase student and educator awareness of local natural systems, ecologies, and social needs. During three courses offered in 2009, Smith will prepare 50-60 teachers to incorporate sustainability issues into their classrooms and help them implement school or community projects that will enhance local, natural, and social environments.
