This online course introduces permaculture as a practical framework for teaching climate resilience, sustainability, and ecological literacy in K–12 settings. Through topics such as food systems, Traditional Ecological Knowledge, place-based learning, and circular resource systems, educators explore ways to connect environmental learning to real-world challenges and solutions.
The course is designed for educators who want practical tools, clear structure, and interdisciplinary approaches they can bring directly into their classroom or program.
This is a non-credit course. Participants who successfully complete the course and all required assignments will receive a certificate of completion.
