Scenario 2
Consider the following scenario:
Lee Anthony teaches Business Finance and has basic knowledge of sustainability, specifically the environmental impacts. He does not feel that teaching sustainability concepts is relevant to Business Finance but he has been asked to incorporate it into the curriculum. Img Cite: UfaBizPhoto / Shutterstock
Scenario 2: Reflection
If you were Lee Anthony, who is concerned about the relevance of sustainability...
What should you do?
- Use the Sustainability toolkit for extra resources; consider development and joining a faculty sustainability support group
- Continue teaching as you always have
- Consider the SDGs as a starting point for conversation
Scenario 2: Reflection - Continued
If you chose C, you are on the right path to where you can start a conversation. SDG8 – decent work and economic growth promotes “sustained inclusive sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all” (sdgs.un.org/goals, n.d.). If you chose A, you are also on the right path towards gaining further knowledge, resources and support to teach sustainable concepts.
