What's New

Welcome to the world of sustainable development. We invite you to join us in an exploration of the educational dimensions of sustainable development. Specifically, please help us answer the question:

How can Virginia’s schools better prepare youth to make wise environmental decisions as adults in order to enhance the quality of life for all?

As you begin exploring the future of our world, please note the limitations of this curriculum: it does not and cannot cover everything students need to know about sustainable development. The topics and issues examined in this curriculum are meant to illustrate some of the key principles and main schools of thought involved. The teaching activities are designed to engage students in critical thought about these complex issues.

We welcome your comments, reflections and questions about this curriculum. Feel free to contact us at the Virginia Tech Center for Economic Education. Contact information is below. As we make revisions in the curriculum in response to your feedback, we will use this space in the future to keep you informed. Come back to this page to see how we have updated the curriculum.
