LfS Connect: Sharing and celebrating our Learning for Sustainability journeys
The General Teaching Council for Scotland’s Learning for Sustainability Hub, developed in partnership with LfS Scotland, provides a one-stop-shop to help educators across the 3-18 continuum to ‘explore, engage, enact & embed, and connect’ with Learning for Sustainability in their individual practice – and the wider life of their setting.
A key element of the Hub is ‘LfS Connect’: which includes monthly online sessions; offering educators a space in which to network and collaborate with others, and explore key aspects of Learning for Sustainability.
The Connect session on 29th February 2024 offered participants an opportunity to ‘Share and Celebrate our Learning for Sustainability Journeys’.
This session provided participants with the following. Click on the hyperlinks to watch video recordings of each element:
- an update of the current policy landscape with regard to LfS and how this relates to the Professional Standards
- an inspiring LfS journey from Suzy Aldous; Teaching Standards Education Officer at GTC Scotland and former teacher of English at Douglas Academy, East Dunbartonshire
- the opportunity to share their own LfS journeys and hear from others in small-group discussions – recording their thoughts on a Jamboard
- the chance to share their thoughts with the whole group and hear about further opportunities in a Plenary discussion.
Share your Learning for Sustainability journey!
We’ve designed ‘LfS Connect’ to be an ongoing opportunity for educators to inspire one another.
In addition to the monthly online sessions, it contains an interactive map, which any educator can access – and add their own Learning for Sustainability story to.
