The IslandWood Graduate Program in Education for Environment and Community is a 10-month immersive residency in justice-oriented environmental education; experiential, student-centered learning; and culturally-responsive teaching and curriculum development.
Offered in partnership with the University of Washington College of Education, our graduate residency program is a unique pathway connecting to Master’s degree options at the UW. Based on our 250-acre campus on Bainbridge Island, WA, this intensive program includes graduate-level course work in environmental and justice-oriented education (equity and anti-bias work), biweekly outdoor teaching experiences, and 1:1 mentoring.
“This program has forever changed my teaching and commitment to equity and access in education.”
~Alex Guest, IslandWood Graduate Program alum and current Staff Instructor
