◄4.1 Overview & Expected Outcomes

    • Welcome to the final module! Module 5 is dedicated to Systems Thinking Competency (STC)—the ability to recognize and understand relationships and analyze complex systems.

      Expected Outcome: By the end of this module, you will be able to apply and teach Multi-Level Analysis (MLA) to deconstruct complex sustainability issues across micro, meso, and macro levels.

      📌 Important Note on ESDC Pedagogy:

      ESDCs do not always dictate completely new pedagogies. Many of your existing teaching and learning activities can be adapted by aligning them to the STC CLO.
