ABSTRACT
This case study describes how Encinitas Union School District adopted a shared vision for sustainability across nine schools, each of which adheres to a different instructional model. Readers will learn how the district created systemic change across its operations, culture, and curriculum by engaging the entire school community – school leaders, teachers, staff, and students – and focusing on three Gs: green teams, garbage, and gardens. They will also be introduced to some of the innovative programs and initiatives that are being implemented at schools across the district and learn how students are playing a role in creating change at their schools and in their communities.
