Event Description
GCC Signer Exclusive Event
This free, virtual workshop is designed to help educators effectively adapt and implement the Superfund Site Case Study, which focuses on the historical and toxicological impact of the chemical industry and the opportunities that green chemistry provides to reduce hazards and avoid unintended consequences.
The Case Study will help instructors introduce students to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Superfund Program, enabling them to better understand the history of the chemical industry. Additionally, the resource will delve into the toxicology associated with chemicals released into the environment, teaching students how to avoid the use of certain types of chemicals through greener innovations and green chemistry. Educators will receive guidance on creating their own resources based on Superfund sites within their regions, adding relevance for students and connecting them with their local communities.
During the session, facilitators will guide participants through the resources, offer practical strategies for adaptation and implementation, and provide opportunities for educators to share insights. The 1.5-hour virtual workshop will include group-based learning, discussions, networking opportunities, and a Q&A session.
The goals for the workshop include:
- Educate participants on the U.S. EPA Superfund Program and its importance.
- Guide participants on practical approaches to effectively incorporate the case study materials into their curriculum.
- Empower participants to adapt and implement the case study resources and expand their professional network.
