SUMMARY:Education for Sustainable Development Topic Support Network: Becoming nature and climate confident
DESCRIPTION:We welcome all staff in further and higher education with an interest in learning and teaching to the November 2023 Education for Sustainable Development Topic Support Network (ESD TSN)\, delivered in partnership with EAUC Scotland: The Alliance for Sustainability Leadership in Education. \n\n\n\nWhy this topic and what to expect: While sustainability is all about the interconnections between the social\, economic\, and environmental\, we have heard some of you telling us that specifically integrating complex environmental topics into your teaching is tricky. While there is some great stuff happening – especially around tangible issues such as waste and recycling – teaching about more ‘abstract-feeling’ aspects like climate change or biodiversity can feel daunting when we don’t feel like we are experts in these fields.  \n\n\n\nIn this TSN\, we want to explore ways you can build confidence to integrate these topics into your teaching – both through gaining knowledge as well as through using teaching methods that allow you to feel comfortable with not knowing everything. We’ll have speakers from university and college contexts talking about their work as well as facilitated discussions with your peers. \n\n\n\nAgenda and speaker announcement coming soon – click here to sign up. \n\n\n\nAs always\, the event is free for EAUC members. Unsure if you’re a member or struggling to book? Get in touch with info@eauc.org.uk.

SUMMARY:Learning for Sustainability and the Professional Standards – monthly Connect session #12
DESCRIPTION:Learning for Sustainability is an international and national priority in education. \n\n\n\nMaking a professional commitment to learning and learners that is compatible with the aspiration of achieving a sustainable and equitable world embodies what it is to be a teacher in Scotland. \n\n\n\nIn Scotland\, the Professional Standards for teachers are underpinned by Learning for Sustainability as a key cross-cutting theme; interdependent with the other key cross-cutting themes of Values and Leadership. \n\n\n\nJoin us and the General Teaching Council for Scotland at our monthly drop-in sessions to connect with other practitioners and contributors to share\, celebrate and discuss more about Learning for Sustainability and what it means for you\, your practice\, your setting and your wider learning community. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAbout this session\n\n\n\nWhat Learning for Sustainability values are needed when applying to become a teacher in Scotland? \n\n\n\nThis session will be an opportunity for participants to contribute to Education Policy through the lens of Learning for Sustainability. \n\n\n\nSuzy Aldous from GTC Scotland will be engaging with you on the current review of ‘The Memorandum on Entry Requirements to Programmes of Initial Teacher Education’. \n\n\n\nThis key policy looks at the values and qualifications that are the minimum entry requirements to programmes of Initial Teacher Education. In this Connect session we will have an opportunity to review the policy and give input on what is needed to ensure that Learning for Sustainability is woven across the expectations of teachers  entering the profession today. \n\n\n\nWe ask that you take some time\, if possible\, ahead of the session to familiarise yourself with the Memorandum of Understanding. \n\n\n\nClick here to reserve your FREE place.
