SUSTAINABILITY CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Teachers are required to include sustainability in their learning plans at all key stages in all institutions. Their subject knowledge and confidence in this area is often much weaker than their core subject. Through a mentoring approach we support teachers to tackle these issues, providing some resources, employer links and collaboration opportunities to develop and embed eco-education in curriculum.

Comino Northwest Creative Consortium

The Comino Foundation support a number of schools to develop creative learning across the region through the NWCC.

​

Building on work in 23/24 directly linked the the Royal Society of the Arts' Pupil Design Awards, we have created the Environmentalist In Residence programme. This directly links curriculum leaders with industry experts with the aim of creating business led curriculum development aimed at sustainability issues. Using a brokerage and mentoring approach, receptive teachers have been matched with keen employers to design and develop new units of work. EcoVida Routes will facilitate mentoring and meetings to keep this development moving forward.

​

The aim is to create new resources which can be shared across networks to support many more teachers including sustainability in their classroom delivery.

Global SpiritEd CIC - Sustainability Champions

Global SpiritEd is an international network of schools focussed on developing the education model. They facilitate child-led learning, teacher CPD and coaching and goal setting, sharing best practice across their expansive network.

​

The Sustainability Champions project took staff from four leading schools and challenged them to develop new curriculum which tackled sustainability issues. Projects include improving green spaces within their school site, developing social-action campaigns in the local community, developing rewards based initiatives for students to take action and traditional but very contemporary issues. EcoVida Routes provides mentoring and facilitation to advise these teachers, provides links to appropriate sources of information and help package developed resources for sharing.
