Flex Workshops

  • Spring 2012:

Teaching for Global Sustainability Wed, February 1, 2012, 3pm – 5pm, Room 406

How do we prepare our students to deal with the complex challenges of a world with over 7 billion people? How can we help each other become the teachers our students and our planet need us to be? Sustainability encompasses the social, economic and environmental aspects of global citizenship. Learn what we are doing right at Cabrillo, and how we keep faculty and students aware and involved in Cabrillo's progress toward sustainability, so we can act locally together. We'll share information and resources from our Engaged Interdisciplinary Learning for Sustainability grant, and launch a Sustainable Curriculum Working Group.

The Ape Capers: Perspectives on Primates Wed, February 1, 2012, 10am – noon, Room 431

The great apes have been driven to near extinction in the wild through deforestation, poaching and the exotic pet trade for profit, and for animal testing, despite their being poor test subjects. In this session we’ll talk about how our local and national practices contribute to the continued exploitation of the apes, what research tells us about our nearest kin, and what we can do to help end these practices.
