Jones’ classroom experience includes working with a broad spectrum of students. She has taught special education (learning handicapped and severely emotionally disturbed), arts (fine arts, music and theatre), math (6-8) and science (6-8) classes in San Francisco, Sacramento and Hayward Public School Districts of California.

Historically, she has split her time between classroom teaching and curriculum development. Jones developed K-8 math, science, and integrated arts/science curriculum, both piloted in California, as well helped create English Language Arts and Science Benchmarks and Evaluation Tools for the California State Standards . She was also part of a team of educators hired to evaluate the California State Science Standards.

Currently living in Michigan, she is developing a K-12 education in-service framework to assist teachers in weaving environmental, social and economic sustainability concepts into their daily curriculum.

Debra Rowe, Ph.D. has been creating and teaching interdisciplinary projects about futuring, environmental sustainability and a more humane society for seven years at Oakland Community College. As college wide coordinator of General Education, Dr. Rowe helped institute an environmental literacy requirement for all degrees at the college. Debra also spent the last twenty years as a faculty member in the Alternate Energies Technology Program and Environmental Systems Technology Program, developing Curricula and Associates Degree Programs in renewable energies and energy management.

Dr. Rowe is the founder and director of the Environmental Solutions Center at the college. She was also the founder and director of the college's Futures Institute. The Institute acted as a catalyst to create changes to build a more humane and environmentally sustainable society. Dr. Rowe has

been in articles in the major Detroit papers, and has appeared on network TV news and radio stations. Dr. Rowe has presented renewable energy technology and sustainability concepts to architects, engineers, and builders' associations as well as social studies, math and science teachers' associations, and consumer groups.

Debra Rowe received her Ph.D. in Business from the School of Business Administration at the University of Michigan in 1991. She received her M.A. in Psychology and her M.B.A. in Business from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor in 1989 and 1988. Debra's Bachelor's degree is from Yale University in 1977. She won the State and Regional Professional Development Award from the Association of Energy Engineers for the curricula of the Environmental Systems Technology program.

Harold Glasser, assistant professor, (Ph.D., University of California, Davis) works at the nexus where environmental science, policy, philosophy, values, business, design, economics, and history meet. He hold degrees in physics, energy systems design (mechanical engineering), and environmental engineering. He was a visiting Senior Fulbright Scholar at the Center for Development and Environment, University of Oslo, in 1996, a lecturer at Schumacher College in 1995, and a visiting researcher at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, Vienna, in 1992.

His research focuses on the evaluation of complex environmental problems and the process of making social choices about the environment. A primary focus is the development of a methodology for evaluating environmental problems/policies/projects and product designs, under conditions where limited information, risk, conflict, lack of scientific consensus, and multiple and incommensurable evaluation criteria predominate. Glasser’s approach emphasizes integrating quantitative considerations with qualitative, value-based considerations. His goal is to use this methodology to assist institutions, businesses, and communities in their efforts to promote ecological and cultural sustainability. Recent work has focused on evaluating the efficacy of existing policy tools and laying the foundation for developing ethically informed, multi-criteria tools for environmental policy analysis and technology assessment that can serve as viable alternatives to benefit-cost analysis. Most recently, he has begun applying this theoretical work to address sustainable product design, campus environmental/social footprints, and green building design.

Glasser also works with the Foundation for Deep Ecology, where, as general editor of the Selected Works of Arne Naess, he is responsible for revising and editing an eleven-volume collection of Naess’s works, which will be published by Kluwer Academic in 2001. In addition, he serves on the steering committee of the newly formed, national Higher Education Network for Sustainability and the Environment (HENSE). Glasser has written on environmental policy, environmental economics, planning, multi-criteria analysis, green accounting, deep ecology, education for ecocultural sustainability, campus environmental assessments, and environmental values.
