Ecology Disrupted: Using Sustainability as a Unifying Principle for an Environmental Science Course

This chapter describes a semester long environmental science content course for pre-service and in-service secondary school science teachers. The goal of the course is to provide the necessary knowledge and tools to use published data to teach environmental science grounded in the ecological underpinnings of sustainability. To achieve this sustainability grounding, this course is built around Ecology Disrupted, an instructional model for situating environmental science courses in sustainability.
