Earthducation project of the U of Mn, evolved from nearly 10 years of delivering Adventure Learning projects to tens of millions of students and teachers around the globe. As we embarked upon our programs and collaborated with diverse cultures in locations ranging from the Arctic to the South Africa, it became evident that there were exhilarating narratives and experiences, large and small, that needed a worldwide outlet and global community.
A Solution Approach: Harden's Taxonomy of Curriculum Integration
Building upon various earlier works on curriculum integration with more specific focus on school education, in 2000, Harden [4] proposed a taxonomy of curriculum integration wrt medical education. In my view, it is good model that can be used by all programs of higher education. Harden has structured this taxonomy as an eleven stage ladder given below:
Quality Matters created a set of forty specific elements, distributed across eight broad standards, by which to evaluate the design of online and hybrid courses. The web-based, fully interactive rubric is complete with annotations that explain the application of the standards and relationship between them.
Students work through material at their own speed. The program creates a "personalized learning path" that targets exactly what lessons they need to work on and then delivers the appropriate material. Points, badges and other game mechanics theoretically keep students chugging through courses with more motivation. In the meantime, teachers learn which students are struggling with exactly which concepts.
RAP concepts are grounded in research evidence on resilience, brain science, and positive psychology. This training offers practical methods providing positive behavior support and creating climates of respect in schools and youth programs.
RAP deals with problems by focusing on strengths and solutions.
Brief “teaching moments” instill positive behaviors and values. Rather than enforcing obedience, RAP sets high expectations for youth to take responsibility and show respect for themselves and others.
As Tsegaye and I were chatting, we came up with an idea to have the course address not just the climate system, but also links between climate and human health issues,
This professor lives a few blocks from here. We can have drinks with her or something. Super friendly and helpful.

“It’s not an exaggeration to say that we did more in these two weeks than we’ve ever been able to do on those programs. Deborah and I did a lot of the background work, but we put the families in the students’ hands. The students never hesitated. They wanted to be there, working.
“It’s not simply a matter of learning. It’s a matter of recognizing that they can make a difference.

It’s a great first-year class because it introduces students to a lot of different topics,” says Bjorke. “We cover biology and psychology, obviously, but also computer science, engineering, and social science in general.”
