LfS Connect: Leading a whole-setting approach to Learning for Sustainability
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 LfS Connect session on 26th September 2024 offered participants an opportunity to hear more about, and discuss ‘Leading a whole-setting approach to Learning for Sustainability’.
We were delighted to welcome Rachel Foy, Head Teacher at Cockburnspath and Coldingham Partner Primary & Nursery Schools; and Emma Turnbull, Principal Teacher at Duns Primary School, Scottish Borders who shared their inspirational journey towards a whole-setting approach to Learning for Sustainability in their settings.
