TEDxBlue - Jaimie P. Cloud - 10/18/09

Jaimie P. Cloud lectures on Sustainability in Schools

Jaimie is the founder and president of the Cloud Institute for Sustainability Education
in New York City. The Cloud Institute monitors the evolving thinking and skills of the most
important champions of sustainability and transforms them into educational materials and a
pedagogical system that inspire young people to think about the world, their relationship to it,
and their ability to influence it in an entirely new way. Cloud is one of the pioneers of Education
for Sustainability (EfS) in the U.S. and has produced a set of EfS Standards and Performance
Indicators that schools are using to innovate their own curricula to educate for sustainability.
