Extract

Griffith University won the 2002 Allen Strom Eureka Prize for Environmental Education for its Teaching and Learning for a Sustainable Future Program, a unique resource designed to help the world's 60 million teachers bring about the changes needed for a sustainable future. Working with UNESCO, the Griffith team, led by AAEE Past President John Fien, created a comprehensive, free-of-charge, multimedia teacher education resource providing 100 hours of highly interactive professional development for use in pre- and in-service teacher education. Thousands of teachers across the world are using the program, which is available as a CD ROM and/or on the Internet, to plan learning experiences designed to empower students to develop and evaluate alternative visions of a sustainable future.
