Education for Sustainability
July 2 - 12, 2013
The United Nations have declared 2005-2014 the Decade of Education for Sustainable Development; the Council of Ministers of Education Canada has declared Education for Sustainable Development to be one of eight key educational priorities for student learning in Canada; and the Manitoba Government has identified Education for Sustainable Development as one of five Priority Action Areas in K-12 schooling. Working toward a sustainable future has become a recognized societal and personal responsibility. Education plays a crucial role in this responsibility. But what is meant by “sustainability”? What does a sustainable future look like? What does a sustainable future require of Manitobans and Canadians in terms of how they live their lives? What is the responsibility and role of education and schooling in working toward a sustainable future? What curricular and instructional implications does the idea of teaching and learning for a sustainable future have? What strategies have been suggested for classroom teachers, administrators, and other educators for implementing education for sustainability? This summer institute will engage participants in these and related questions. The institute is designed to assist school educators with developing a deeper understanding of, commitment toward, and competency in implementing education for sustainability in their respective educational contexts.
EDUB 5220 T06/ EDUB 7340 T03 What is Sustainability? (3)
This course is the first of the two courses of the Summer Institute. The course provides opportunities for participants to develop a foundational understanding of the multi-faceted concept of sustainability, the notion of living sustainably and its relationship to school education and personal responsibility. There will be an on-line component for which students will be required to engage with other course participants in on-line discussions.
EDUB 5230 T01/ EDUB 7350 T01 Teaching and Learning for Sustainability (3)
This course builds upon the foundational understanding of sustainability developed in the first half of the Summer Institute and provides participants with opportunities to critically engage with proposed strategies of enacting education for sustainability in classroom, school-wide, or school-community projects. The course will also assist participants in developing resources that are specific to a grade level or school subject, whole school initiatives, or school-community projects and that can be used in the particular context in which the participants work. There will be an on-line component for which students will be required to engage with other course participants in on-line discussions.
Storytelling for Peace Education and Human Rights
August 7 - 23, 2013
This summer institute comprised of two courses is a unique opportunity to synthesize ideas and practices in the areas of peace and conflict studies, human rights education, and storytelling. Central themes include how power, identity, and knowledge are constructed and operate in our social lives in ways that can be harmful or promote a culture of human rights, social justice, and peace. These courses focus on the role of storytelling in these processes. Storytelling is broadly defined to encompass a range of narrative forms, including personal and fictional stories.
Students must register in EDUB 5220 T07 and EDUB 5230 T02 for a total of six (6) credit hours. Pre-reading will be required.
EDUB 5220 T07 Storytelling for Peace Education and Human Rights 1

Pre-reading will be required. Students are required to take both courses.
EDUB 5220 T08/EDUB 7340 T04 Recent Developments in CTL 1: Portrayals of Teachers in Popular Media: Theory, Analysis and Pedagogy (3)
Stories are powerful constructions shaping our attitudes and beliefs. The course is about ways in which media stories delineate educators across all levels of education from the early, middle and senior years to that of higher education. Students will explore and examine teacher/student constructed media imagery through viewing television and radio shows and films.
EDUB 5230T03/EDUB 7350 T02 Recent Developments in CTL 2: Portrayals of Teachers in Popular Media: Production, Art and Technology (3)
Students will connect their examination and theoretical analysis of teacher/student constructed media imagery from the first course in the institute in order to create a video production in this second course focusing upon production, art and technology. Students will now become “prosumers”, telling their own stories in order to create a media portrayal of an educator. The pre-production and production process will be experienced in order to create an improvised or in camera video final postproduction.
Fostering School Leadership Capacity to Support First Nations, Metis and Inuit Students
June 8 - July 10, 2013
This Institute focuses on developing the leadership capacity of administrators to improve the educational outcomes of the growing numbers of First Nations, Metis and Inuit students in schools. It will deal with critical issues of privilege, racism and equity while also focusing on the organizational and financial structures, learning opportunites and teaching pedagogy that administors can use or foster with their schools to support FNMI learning, retention and success.

We will begin with a conceptual review of these issues, with special attention to their implications for both teacher practice and teacher education. Using examples of alternative approaches to education from both local initiatives (for example, mentoring programs for Aboriginal youths) and international experiences (mentoring and peer-teaching in India, service learning in Ethiopia, etc.), this course will the invite participants to consider broader issues of social justice and global citizenship in the context of their own practice and professional development.

Building a Communty Commons: Urban Permaculture in Practice
July 22 - August 2, 2013
Course Numbers: SOC 3460 T02 and T03 or SOC 7160 T01 & T02 (students must register in a total of 6 credit hours)
Building a Community Commons is a 2 week-long community-based summer institute. We begin with a in-class introduction to global ecological and social challenges related to industrialization, global trade, resource scarcity, pollution, etc. The course provides an overview of localized community resilience as a response these challenges, and focuses on local food production - an area in which Sustainable South Osborne Community Cooperation (the course's community partner organization) has demonstrated grassroots successes. The remainder of the course is applied: as a class, we design an urban permaculture site, working through the processes of community consultation, finding fundings, advertising and soliciting community participation, and implementing the design "in the field." This course is unique in that it provides both students and the community a tangible and rewarding final product: an urban permaculture commons.
Open to undergraduate students, graduate students, and community members:
Undergraduate and Graduate Students register using Aurora Student.
