Transformative Leadership in Education for Sustainability - Online

Educator Programs
Transformative Leadership

A compliment to our EFS Leadership Academy, this month-long experience focuses on leadership practices and tools to transform yourself and your community.   We’ll explore a whole-systems and ecological approach for leading change in complex and emergent times.  We’ll work with storytelling and leadership exercises to envision the future we want to create. A core element of this program is the community that will be co-developed through our engagement with each other and our collective work.

The Transformative Leadership in EFS program blends a community of practice/professional learning community with a studio feel.  Synchronous times will be focused on peer-to-peer learning, feedback, and dialogue.  Asynchronous times offer an opportunity to apply tools and practices in your own community space.  

This course is action-oriented with an expectation that participants will create an EFS systems analysis and project proposal/presentation or strategy plan.
