LECL Learning Outcomes

Curriculum content will offer:

• Broad-based understanding of ecological, socio-cultural, and philosophical foundations of sustainability education, bio-cultural diversity, political ecology, and social justice issues.
• Theoretical understanding as well as practical skills needed to offer effective leadership for sustainability. We help students not only build a vision but also to generate necessary social, natural and economic capital to accomplish the task.
• Local, regional, and global dialogue through internships and summer programs that involve visiting scholars and community partners.
• Connection between community and academia, town and gown, by facilitating continuous engagement with community partners through community based learning (CBL) opportunities.
• Bringing insights from grassroots, educational, ecological and cultural initiatives into PSU classrooms through a variety of internships and presentations by our community partners.
