Become an Educator for a More Equitable and Sustainable Future
The IslandWood Graduate Program in Education for Environment & Community is a 10-month immersive teaching residency based on a 250-acre forested campus preparing culturally responsive educators capable of catalyzing community and environmental stewardship.
Offered in partnership with the University of Washington's top-ranked College of Education , our graduate program is a unique pathway connecting to Master's degree options at the UW.
Through coursework in environmental education and inclusive instruction, biweekly field-teaching experiences, and 1:1 mentoring, you will -
learn best practices in integrated, experiential, and student-centered learning
develop culturally responsive teaching and curriculum development skills
deepen an understanding of the systems and theories behind educational practices
We are still accepting applications for the 2019-2020 academic year!
