Placing Transformative Ecological Justice in the Hands of School-Based Professionals: Regenerative Education

Sunday, October 27, 2024
9:45 AM – 10:15 AM CT
Location: KC Convention Center, Room 2211
Teaching approaches are needed that equip youth to navigate the ecological crisis and interrelated social inequities so they can build an equitable and regenerative future for themselves, their communities, and Earth. We combined phenomenological and participatory methods to co-create a regenerative education training with and for school-based, PreK-12 professionals.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Understand what regenerative education is, why it is needed in preK-12 schools, and how regenerative education can lead to transformative ecological justice when applied by school-based professionals and members of their learning communities.
  2. Describe why social workers are uniquely situated to help develop and facilitate this training.
  3. Apply principles of regenerative education in their daily micro, mezzo, and macro social work.
