LfS Connect: ‘Learning for Sustainability and the role of Senior Leadership Teams’
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.
The LfS Connect session on 27 February 2025 offered participants an opportunity to hear more about, and discuss, ‘Learning for Sustainability and the role of Senior Leadership Teams.’
We were delighted to welcome John Rutter, a Depute Head Teacher from Highland Council, who shared more about his experiences and ideas for embedding a whole-setting approach to Learning for Sustainability in secondary school settings.
