Opportunity to connect faculty with textbook publishers
published Feb 3, 2012 2:30pmAre you helping to educate for a more sustainable future? Help impact hundreds of thousands of students by infusing sustainability into textbooks from major publishers and get paid for your efforts.
NAGT is participating in an initiative funded by the U.S. Department of Education to address the Big Sustainability Questions in our classrooms (understanding and engaging in problem solving around societal issues such as access to food and water, poverty reduction, and cleaner energy supplies). You can see more information about this project at http://www.aacu.org/pkal/disciplinarysocietypartnerships/mobilizing/index.cfm.
Textbook publishers have seen the demand from educators and students for sustainability related materials in our discipline. We have been asked by major textbook publishers (e.g. Cengage and McGraw-Hill) to gather names of potential reviewers who can receive remuneration for suggesting ideas about how to educate for a sustainable future. These ideas will be used as examples and themes in their textbook revisions. If you know of anyone involved in educating for a sustainable future, please forward their name, title, and contact information to EducationForASustainableFuture@gmail.com and we will follow up with them about these exciting possibilities.
