AALL Spring Conference 2024 CULTIVATING EDUCATORS FOR A SUSTAINABLE WORLD The 2024 AALL Spring Conference at Biosphere 2 will provide an inspiring day of activities geared toward connecting teachers to the cutting edge research happening at Biosphere 2. Emphasizing connections between food, culture and science, we will show how all of us can be part of solutions to the challenges of a changing world. We can help our students develop the skills they will need to address the socio-economic issues related to climate change, resource use and allocation, and sustainable development. A healthy future for all depends upon three pillars of sustainability: Quality education, meaningful work and a thriving biosphere. Registration closes April 22 |
