**Please note that this workshop is intended for those already using case studies and for those interested in using case studies.**

• Share ideas and knowledge among participants about current practices, challenges, and questions related to case-based teaching for sustainability and sustainable development.
• Using small group work, propose solutions to challenges faced by participants in case-based teaching.
• Create new peer-to-peer connections among participants that will form the basis for an online community of practice that can continue to provide support and innovate after the workshop concludes.

Introduction and welcome (10-15 mins.)
Small group discussion and report out (25 mins.)

·        How are participants currently using cases in their classrooms? (Each participant has 2-3 minutes to describe their current practices or interest in using cases.)

·        Is there anything they would like to do but have not had the opportunity or do not know how to do?

Large group discussion (30 mins.)

·        What is working well in participants’ current practice? (In other words, what do participants see as best practices?)

·        What are the challenges for case-based teaching that participants have encountered?

·        What is still needed in case-based teaching to make it more effective and successful for sustainability and sustainable development education?

Break (10 mins.)
Breakout session #1 (20 mins.)

·        Participants form new groups in order to meet new people

·        Small group work to brainstorm solutions to identified top challenges

Breakout session #2 (20 mins.)

·         Small group work to create an action plan on next steps, including how to create an online community of practice.

·        The home for the online community could be Michigan Sustainability Cases’ Gala platform or another online tool.
