Creating the Conditions for Embedding Sustainable Development in the Curriculum
This curriculum guide highlights ways in which you can create
the conditions to allow sustainable development to be embedded in
the curriculum by supporting your staff to make it happen.
The research on which this document is based showed that leaders
within Further Education and other learning organisations were
taking action on embedding sustainable development within the
curriculum – but often not quickly enough or in a consistent
and ambitious manner. It also showed that where sustainable
development was being embedded in the curriculum the senior
managers within the institution were leading on this as well as
creating the conditions for other key staff to also show leadership
in a number of ways.
In this document are a number of practical examples of how some
institutions are demonstrating leadership in sustainable
development. These examples are aimed at stimulating thought and
questions and, coupled with the points raised throughout the
document, will prompt senior managers to ask themselves how they
are performing in this area.
