LfS Connect: ‘A golden thread’: Learning for Sustainability and the Scottish Curriculum Improvement Cycle

Fri 24th January 2025 - Courses & Events Summaries, Further and Higher Education, Initial Teacher Education, News, Schools and early learning & childcare settings, Sustainable Development Goals

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 opportunities for educators to network and collaborate with others, and explore key aspects of Learning for Sustainability.

We were delighted to welcome Sheona Goodall, associate tutor and lecturer at the University of Dundee, who shared more about her work to embed an LfS ethos across the teaching of Mathematics – and the opportunities that the CIC offers for weaving the ‘golden thread’of LfS across education in Scotland.
