Abstract
The purpose of this article is to describe how a required foundation course in Human Development, taken by all students seeking K-12 teacher certification, integrated issues related to sustainability throughout the entire course. The article describes objectives, content topics, readings, assignments, and class activities that were added to the course to provide teacher candidates with ongoing opportunities to see connections between content related to human growth and development, teaching and sustainability. The adaptations reflect a basic belief that in order for future teachers to develop deep understanding and valuing for a sustainable earth, issues related to sustainability must be integrated throughout individual courses, and, ultimately throughout an entire program of teacher education.
