Earth-wise and Heart-centred Teacher Education in the Anthropocene
We are in urgent need of teacher education that fosters climate stewardship and a sense of responsibility to the more-than-human-world. Join Dr. Alysha Farrell (Dean of Education, Brandon University) as she discusses ways for pre-service teachers and teacher educators to call in the wild unknown to support and enrich Climate Change Education (CCE). In the webinar, Alysha shares a process called Rooted Inquiry using nature-based storytelling. She hopes to contribute to the growing conversation about loosening teacher education from the grips of anthropocentrism and to the cultivation of CCE pedagogies that are rooted in justice and joy. This free webinar is offered in collaboration with the project, SCAN and UofT's Community of Practice on Sustainability Teaching.
