Why participate?
Scotland is unique internationally in having a requirement for all teachers and education professionals to address Learning for Sustainability (LfS) in their practice. This fully funded professional learning, created by the University of Edinburgh and Learning for Sustainability Scotland, for the British Council Connecting Classrooms programme, will:
- Support you to create an enabling environment for Learning for Sustainability and significantly enhance your learners’ educational experience
- Inform your PRD and GTCS Professional Update
- Support whole-school and community approaches to Learning for Sustainability
- Give access to an international network of like-minded teachers
Your engagement in the programme could, in time, lead to Professional Recognition from the GTCS.
Who can participate?
All teachers in Scotland. You will be supported by skilled facilitators with a background in Learning for Sustainability and online learning and do not need any advanced technical expertise to take part.
