ESE Working Group: This group of faculty and staff is dedicated to helping establish a culture of sustainability at OISE. It strives to better infuse Environmental and Sustainability Education into OISE's programs. Formed in response to the Ministry of Education's new policy on Environmental Education in 2009, this group has been sharing expertise in a range of disciplines to find innovative ways of integrating environmental learning into courses, special programs and events through teaching and learning, advocacy, research and outreach. For more information on current projects and events, or to join this group, contact Hilary Inwood[hilary.inwood@utoronto.ca]
- Greening OISE: This group came into being in 2007 through a grass-roots commitment among faculty, staff and students towards building a greener community. Each year, this student group works on sustainability initiatives, reducing waste, conserving energy, and promoting positive environmental change at OISE. Past events include organizing OISE’s annual Eco-Fair and its bi-annual Walk-in Closets clothing swaps. The Greening OISE team meets regularly throughout the academic year; students are encouraged to join at any point.
- ESE Grad Student Group: This group of graduate students is dedicated to helping support a culture of sustainability at OISE. Through working collaboratively to plan and implement a variety of projects and events related to environmental and sustainability education, they are finding opportunities to put their learning in this field into play. Through this work they are building networks, trying out ideas, deepening their learning, and modeling an activist approach to teaching and learning for others in the OISE community. For more information on current projects and events, or to join this group, contact Erin Sperling [erin.sperling@utoronto.ca]
