Arizona State University's "Sustainability Science for Sustainable Schools program" brings together graduate students, sustainability researchers, high school teachers and students, and school or district administrators in a project designed to address the challenge of becoming a "sustainable school." Funded by the National Science Foundation and based on the ASU's commitment to engage with and support its community, this program was designed to incorporate the research and teaching that is being developed in the Global Institute of Sustainability into the K-12 setting. Its central goal is to equip graduate fellows with the skills to bring their sustainability-science research into K-12 settings. (Contains 2 figures.)
