I am a secondary school social studies teacher at a progressive independent school in Portland, Oregon, USA. My teaching revolves around environmentalism and policy. I have used "Donut Economics" in my classes for a few years, largely as a critique of dominant economics ideas and as a way of rethinking labor.
I am interested in developing a secondary-level social studies curriculum around Donut Economics. The idea would be to replace nationalist, growth-centered focuses with outlooks privileging sustainability, global citizenship and social justice. Has anyone already done this work? I am hoping to meet with like-minded educators (anywhere in the world!) in Summer 2023.
I recently began a Tiny Forest at my school. This is a Miyawaki-method "pocket forest" of native trees and shrubs. I have developed curriculum for lower and middle-school students around reforestation and Indigenous uses of plants.
