Teaching and Learning for a Sustainable Future

Teaching and Learning for a Sustainable Future is an award winning internationally renowned training toolkit for those who want to educate for a sustainable future.  It consistes of over 100 hours (divided into 25 modules) of professional development for use in pre-service teacher courses as well as the in-service education of teachers, curriculum developers, education policy makers and authors of educational materials.

This fully interactive teaching resource will help you as a teacher or student to explore sustainability issues and relate the these principles back to your classroom situation.  Use it to get up to speed on the key learning challenges presented by sustainable living or draw on its modules to program activities, reflections and research tasks for your projects.  The layout and style of the site is incredibly user friendly and suitable for students to use as a research tool.

The  Sustainable Living Challenge team use Teaching and Learning for a Sustainable Future in a variety of contexts.  In 2003, we were the first to use it as a program framework for "Eco-Innovate 03" the first ever UNEP youth capacity building program that we developed and implemented.  In 2005 it was used extensively in the  "Knowledge Networks" project to guide the inquiry process that underpinned the professional development experience. 

Needless to say we are very familar with this resource - if you are lost and not sure where or how to use it - just give us a call or send us an email.
