SEdA
The Sustainability and Education Academy is a partnership between the Schulich School of Business, the Faculty of Education at York, Learning for a Sustainable Future and the UNESCO Chair on Reorienting Teacher Education to explore sustainability and schooling. It held its second seminar in May 2008, which was attended by 60 senior educators (directors, associate directors and principals) from school boards across Canada and the US. It included speakers from the UK, Sweden and Ireland. The next seminar is scheduled to take place in Winnipeg, Nov 2008; supported by the Manitoba Ministry of Education, Citizenship and Youth.
SEdA has developed a series of case studies that are available on line. A small grant from IRIS (York University) of $2,800 was awarded in 2007 to extend these case studies. SEdA is supported by large grants from the Ministry of the Environment ($100K) and Suncor Energy Foundation (150K).
