Using Case Studies to Promote Biodiversity, Conservation and Management within Sustainable Communities: Best Case Thinking for Curriculum Infusion

This GCRT drew on expertise from several disciplines to identify, author, field test, refine, and make available for curriculum incorporation, a new series of case studies focused on biodiversity, conservation and management within sustainable communities. Case studies will focus on areas including the connections between cattle and sustainable communities, sustainability issues with STEM education, conservation biology, protected lands management and sustainable communities, and others. These case studies will offer educators and community leaders a useful framework for engaging audiences of all ages and backgrounds in active and interactive explorations of complex content with the intent to promote deeper understanding.
