Trailblazers for Whole School Sustainability: Case Studies of Educators in Action

* Features more than 20 case studies that will serve as inspirational models for teachers and school leaders. These stories come from public, private, and charter schools in urban, suburban, and rural communities.
* Each case study ends with a short section called Learning from School or District: Bringing Practice to Your Classroom/School/District to clearly articulate practical applications from the case study.
* Authored by the Executive Director of the Green Schools National Network (GSNN)
* Explores the GSNN four pillars GreenPrint for Green, Healthy, and Sustainable that have emerged from 10 years of research, evaluation, and work with schools and school districts.
* Very few books address whole school sustainability and even fewer, if any others, highlight stories of leading change for sustainability. This is the first compilation of case studies written by leaders of transformative change in their schools and school districts.
* We’re facing complex and urgent crises that are both local and global ; PK-12 education has the responsibility and opportunity to serve as a model of local action and learning toward a more vibrant and sustainable future. This book highlights this need and provides exemplars in action.
