A brief description of the formal sustainability course designation program:
Faculty are invited to submit proposals for courses proposed for inclusion in the Sustainability General Education curriculum. All course proposals (new courses, and existing courses) seeking Sustainability Course status must be submitted via UVM's Courseleaf system. Once the course proposal has been submitted electronically in Courseleaf, it will follow the workflow established for the specific college or school, ultimately making its way to the Sustainability Curriculum Review Committee. Proposals are accepted at any time during the academic year, from all academic fields and disciplines. The instructional faculty for sustainability courses must hold a UVM faculty appointment.
Sustainability Course Proposal Guidelines
1. Submit a Course Action Form through the Courseleaf system
2. In the Sustainability Learning Outcomes section of Courseleaf, select "Yes" in the section "Are you seeking sustainability learning outcome (SLO) credit approval as part of this action?"
2.Attach a course syllabus to the Courseleaf submission
3. Provide a brief history of the course/curriculum, general reasons why the course satisfies the SLO, and any other contextual information that can assist the committee in its review process.
3. Describe how your course meets each of the four sustainability learning outcomes. You will be prompted to answer the following for each of the four learning outcomes:
-Level of exposure: (Introduces/Reinforces/Mastery) It is expected that for three of the outcomes, the level of exposure will be at least "reinforces".
-Activity title/type, lecture or activity content, topics taught, etc.
