A Principal’s Vision for Environmental Literacy: Empowering Teachers, Students, and Communities to Be Solutionary

The podcast features Ryan Hansen, principal of Nesbitt School, discussing how her K–8 school integrated environmental literacy and solutionary teaching across grade levels to increase student engagement and academic rigor. By providing teachers with resources, professional development, and funding, Nesbitt transformed its curriculum, enabling students to tackle real-world environmental challenges and develop critical problem-solving skills. "When we moved to the solutionary approach, it was really about addressing engagement and academic rigor and giving kids those tools to spark them being the solutionaries, or like the problem solvers of real things in the community.” —Ryan Hansen Hosted on Acast.
