Join This Is Planet Ed at the Green Schools Conference
The Green Schools Conference (GSC) is the only event to convene the professionals involved in making green schools a reality: people who lead, operate, build and teach in U.S schools. The 2023 GSC is returning in-person to convene the green schools community for three days of in-depth topics, networking, memorable moments from inspirational sessions, and keynote presentations, all leading to valuable connections and learning.
The conference kicks off with two days of peer-to-peer focused learning designed specifically for each stakeholder group contributing to the green schools movement: educators and school leaders, school district capital and facilities staff, non-school-based professionals interested in school design and construction, and green school advocates, government and community partners. Attendees will select one Peer Cohort track based on these stakeholder professional roles. Each track is carefully curated to meet the unique needs of its attendees and includes focused time to connect meaningfully with like-minded peers to fully leverage the collective knowledge within this community and develop insightful ideas and strategies.
The conference will end with a full day of interdisciplinary content and education sessions covering important topics like improving indoor air quality, reducing waste, advancing decarbonization, cultivating environmental literacy, improving district-wide partnerships, implementing social and emotional health strategies, and amplifying student-led climate action initiatives.
