Does the institution have an ongoing program or programs that offer incentives for faculty in multiple disciplines or departments to develop new sustainability courses and/or incorporate sustainability into existing courses?:
Yes
A brief description of the program(s), including positive outcomes during the previous three years (e.g. descriptions of new courses or course content resulting from the program):
Sustainability Practices and Resources Council (SPARC) is the committee working on sustainability curriculum for the college. SPARC has sponsored trainings to encourage faculty to incorporate sustainability into their curriculum. These workshops are based on AASHE’s Ponderosa/Piedmont Projects, leading sustainability curriculum development trainings. This sustainability curriculum model draws from a cross-disciplinary approach in curricular change. SPARC has hosted four trainings reaching over 50 faculty members.
A brief description of the incentives that faculty members who participate in the program(s) receive:
Participants receive a stipend (part-time faculty) for the sustainability in curriculum training and are provided support, through SPARC, in the development of a new course, or the revision of a current course. Additionally, faculty can receive funding for conferences, trainings, and other professional development through the Teaching Learning Centers, Professional & Organizational Development, and SPARC to sustainability-related trainings. We are also working with our Vice President of Academic and Student Affairs to prioritize professional development funding for faculty developing new courses or adding green outcomes to existing courses.
