    Teaching Sustainability Science

    Complimenting an earlier thread on what should be taught in a course / program on sustainability science, we'd also like your thoughts on how sustainability science might best be taught.  At the 2009 Forum for Sustainability Science Programs in Chicago, participants described courses that included:

    • interaction with practitioners and/or industry as a means of moving knowledge into action
    • case studies / inquiry-based learning
    • using capstone projects as a means of incorporating learnings in to a real-world problem
    • use of team teaching to incorporate various perspectives (ie. social and natural science)

    What have you found to be effective means for teaching sustainability science?
