Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is an initiative of UNESCO. It recognizes that students do not seem to be engaged in their education because it has no relevance for them. Most of what they learn is geared to the past, not to their future. ESD provides students with a key concept, that in order for them to survive this planet they cannot exploit resources faster than they can be replaced. It focuses on systems thinking and includes every aspect of curriculum.

Friday 6/16/11
It is Friday morning, my last day at school for this semester. I was up at 4:00 this morning. I was too excited to sleep. Today my students will be taking their final exams. I came in to school and realized I had left their exams on my desk at home. Too much excitement, insufficient focus!
