Part 1 is the development of a K-12 sustainability education online resource, probably in the form of a website. There are many existing online educational resources for teaching about sustainability in K-12 education, but they are scattered and some of the information is poor quality and some is difficult to fine. I would include at least the following in the project: an annotated bibliography of good quality existing resources; a good introductory overview of all facets of sustainability at the global level; and guidelines for/examples of problem-based (casebased) instruction related to local sustainability issues. The goal of the project is to provide a good-quality resource that will be used in my science methods courses and that can also be used by education students in the future
to facilitate and improve their K-12 instruction related to sustainability.

Part 2 is a proposal for funding "new" course development and delivery. The course would be titled "Sustainability Education,11 would be a 1-hour course, and would be offered preferably during the second 8 weeks of fall semester 2013. The course can be offered under an existing rubric (CI199: Undergraduate Open Seminar) which avoids the hassle of the new course approval process. The course would cover both content information related to sustainability and methods for teaching it. Students would complete a major project that could involve either K-12 education or on-campus UI student education. The course would be somewhat targeted to education majors, but would be open to all undergraduates and appropriate for any students interested in sustainability. The course would reach only a small number of students directly but could have a broader impact via course projects on campus and/ or future sustainability instruction by the education students in K-12 classrooms.
