Two commonalities found in research on sustainability education in teacher education are
the evaluation of pre-service teachers’ knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors, and the tension
between their stated beliefs and personal behaviors toward sustainability. The literature
suggests when incorporating a controversial sustainability issue in the course design, pre-service
teachers’ content knowledge increases, particularly when using structured discussion to examine
issues. As established in social studies scholarship (e.g., Kissling & Barton, 2013; Kruidenier &
Morrison, 2013; Shuttleworth & Marri, 2014), the work described here illustrates how to teach
for sustainability education through an approach that fosters pre-service teachers’ thinking,
furthers the scholarship of SE in teacher education, and provides a model for examining SE in
elementary social studies. In summary, this manuscript aims to contribute to gaps in the
literature. First, it addresses the need for research in elementary teacher education that outlines
interdisciplinary course methods in sustainability education. Second, it couches such work
specifically within elementary social studies, where little scholarship has been conducted on
interdisciplinary sustainability education.
