SUMMARY:Creatively Investigating Sustainability in the Classroom
DESCRIPTION:Creatively Investigating Sustainability in the Classroom
Description: Join Engage d Ecology Co-Founder and CEO Jake Ifshin and long-time ISEEN friend and Ass istant Head of School at Hotchkiss Josh Hahn for a fresh look at how we are asking deeper questions and co-creating solutions around sustainability in the classroom and institution wide. Jake will invite you to revisit your own relationship with sustainability and what has been working for you so f ar in teaching this concept. He will also offer examples from his own exper ience as a teacher and as a consultant partnering with schools to begin com posting, gardening, and reducing waste. Josh will share thoughts about Hotc kiss’s journey to incorporate environmental stewardship into e very aspect of School life. By taking this solution-oriented approach to en vironmental issues, Hotckiss prepares students to involve themselves consci entiously in our collective ecological future. The School's regenerative pr actices (such as producing energy and food, restoring ecosystems, building soil, and achieving carbon neutrality) reinforce an environmental mentality characterized by innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurship.
