LfS Connect: Learning for Sustainability and Initial Teacher Education
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 14th November 2024 offered participants an opportunity to hear more about, and discuss ‘Learning for Sustainability and Initial Teacher education’.
We were delighted to welcome Will Quirke, Teaching Fellow at the University of Strathclyde’s Institute of Education, who shared more about their inspirational work to embed Learning for Sustainability across initial teacher education.
