A community of educators empowering students to take climate action

What makes a superb sustainability educator?

Thursday 24th June, 4pm-5:30pm

 

Participants will be introduced to the Rounder Sense of Purpose framework, which has been designed for educators, working at any level, who wish to provide an education for sustainable development.


Based on 12 educator competences, including creativity, values and empathy, the framework unfolds into a rich palette of learning outcomes that help educators and their students embrace a wide range of concerns – social, economic and environmental.


In this interactive workshop, teachers will develop a critical understanding of ESD, explore some of the skills and knowledge required of the educator and reflect on implications for their own practice.

 

This workshop will:

  • Consider what it means to offer education for sustainable development (ESD)
  • Outline a framework of educator competences for ESD
  •  Introduce a professional development opportunity to embed ESD in professional practice.
