Learning for a Better Future Programme
About the programme
This programme is designed to deepen understanding of Learning for Sustainability, specifically with a focus on enhancing practice in Education for Global Citizenship. Through in-depth training, professional reading and practitioner enquiry, by the end of the course teachers will be able to:
- articulate their personal and professional rationale for Sustainability within Scottish Education
- critically analyse academic and practitioner perspectives on Global Citizenship within Education
- plan, implement and critically evaluate a series of new experiences for learners exploring key themes of Global Citizenship
- demonstrate how the course had challenged their own values and assumptions, and informed new approaches to both planned curricular learning experiences, and various whole school Global Citizenship initiatives
- share professional learning and course experience with wider school community, in order to collectively plan next steps for whole school development
