SE Statistics

Education for a Sustainable Future:

View the Final Report with student learning statistics for ESF - one of the most successful and ambitious SE initiatives in the U.S.. This on-going project, launched nearly ten years ago, created, implemented and disseminated a collection of flexible, technology-based educational resources that support learning about the environment, the economy and social equity as it relates to a sustainable future. 

The project took place in Cobb County, GA and provides professional development to support the use of these new resources. Using an on-line template designed specifically for the project, teachers have created units for grades K-12 which infuse the use of technological tools to support student inquiry and systems thinking. http://www.cobb.k12.ga.us/~Grants/
