Bringing sustainability and climate change into the classroom

The recently published DfE Sustainability and Climate Change strategy states that by 2025, all education settings should have nominated a sustainability lead and put in place a climate action plan. Few primary schools are prepared for these changes. Reviewing the extent to which issues of sustainability and climate change feature in teaching and learning in your setting, and identifying how this can be developed, is a great starting point. With that in mind, we’d like to invite you to an online event, at which you’ll learn how to bring sustainability and climate change into your classroom, school curriculum, school grounds and community.

This short course will give you:

– increased knowledge of sustainability issues and climate change
– deeper understanding of the key features of a progressive and creative curriculum
– practical experience of high-quality sustainability and climate change teaching and learning at different stages
– increased confidence, resources, and inspiration to design and resource your own challenging and progressive programmes of study about sustainability and climate change in your setting
