Moonee Valley City Council Stormwater Asset Management Aug 2012Sheridan Blunt
Moonee Valley is applying a Council-wide approach to its progressive sustainable integrated water management strategy. Staff from over 12 teams across Council are involved. Find links to our Water Strategy on this page http://mvcc.vic.gov.au/about-the-council/environment/environment-strategies.aspx
An innovative approach for funding sustainable initiatives at Dartmouth. Presented to Matariki Network of Universities Conference in Kingstron, Ontario November 2010.
A presentation for Eduserv staff, given at an all-staff meeting on 4th February 2009.
Whilst this was explicitly an internal presentation, it may well be of interest to people outside of Eduserv because it discusses the future of activities that we have previously carried out as part of the Eduserv Foundation.

Behaviour Change – it’s not all about turning off the lightsEMEX
In principle most people think saving energy is a good idea. But things get in the way – budgets, timelines and knowledge to name a few. UCL’s sustainability team have used a £1.2 billion estate investment programme to embed energy saving in organisational processes, approvals and contracts, making energy efficiency a core requirement and not a ‘nice to have’. Joanna will explain how she has used rigorous governance and effective relationship building to shift attitudes across the institution, with engineers, maintenance staff, lab managers and architects all considering energy in their day to day activities and suggesting new initiatives to reduce consumption.
By listening to our customers and placing value and allocating resources on what they say they need today, will libraries meet a fate similar to hard drive, typewriter, and photography manufacturers?

Student-directed engagement in community-linked STEM integration through coll...Kim Flintoff
Prepared for the Deakin STEM Education Conference 2021.
This paper will be co-authored by a team of participating Year 10 students who are working on a challenge-based learning project in their TIDES (Technology Innovation Design Enterprise Sustainability) class at Peter Carnley Anglican Community School.
They are considering a problem derived from the theme of National Science Week 2021 (Food: Different by Design). The focus on issues relating to Food Security has enabled them to create a body of work that supports deep engagement and a scope of learning that exceeds most traditional content-delivery models. They have been able to generate work that can be submitted across a variety of contexts and to enable entry to several external programs for recognition.
With their teacher, the students will describe and evaluate the processes and ways of working they have adopted, as well as highlighting how their work has produced interdisciplinary artifacts that can be used to guide and assess learning across a range of subject areas within their regular school timetable. They will also consider the benefits of student agency and external audiences in building engagement and focus in their learning. The students will discuss how programs such as Game Changer Awards, ANSTO National Science Week Hackathon, STEM4Innovation and think tank events provide platforms for the practice and application of their collaborative human-centered design-thinking process to enhance their learning in STEM and other areas across the curriculum.
Too often student experience of learning is not reflected in education conferences. As one of the most important voices in the whole system, they often struggle to be heard. This paper will provide insights into student perceptions of integrated STEM as an approach to meaningful learning that provides scope and depth of learning across many parts of the broader K-100 curriculum. Content and capabilities will be considered and the students along with their teacher will endeavour to unpack the benefits and challenges they encounter.
Over the past decade, the OMG Center for Collaborative Learning has served as the research and evaluation partner in more than a dozen foundation-supported efforts to improve college access and success outcomes, not just within individual programs, but also at a community level. In this workshop, the presenters will: a) present lessons learned from these community-level efforts; and b) guide participants in using a systems lens to identify how and where they fit in their local college access and completion system.

DREAM 2017 | Faculty as Drivers of College Reform EffortsAchieving the Dream
Three of Achieving the Dream’s funded learning initiatives – the Open Education Resources Degree Initiative, Engaging Adjunct Faculty Initiative, and InSpark Network-- are creating faculty led teams to drive curriculum and pedagogy reform and to engage a wider swath of faculty – both full and part time, in institution wide reform efforts.
During this workshop, participants:
* Learned about strategies these colleges are using to give faculty greater ownership of the completion agenda.
* Completed a readiness survey to assess their college’s current policies and practices for engaging faculty in institution-wide reform work
* Developed a draft plan for engaging more faculty in reform efforts at their campuses
