Learning for sustainability

Introduction

Learning for sustainability is an international and national priority in education.

In Scotland, the Professional Standards for Teachers are underpinned by learning for sustainability as a cross-cutting theme; interdependent with the other cross-cutting themes of values and leadership.

GTC Scotland has worked with Learning for Sustainability Scotland, Scotland’s United Nations University-recognised Centre of Expertise on Education for Sustainable Development, to develop resources to help teachers to explore learning for sustainability in the Professional Standards for Teachers.

Please watch this short Introduction to the learning for sustainability hub by Dr Pauline Stephen, Chief Executive and Registrar, GTC Scotland to find out more.

This new resource is here to support you to reflect on, engage with and enhance learning for sustainability in both your own practice and the wider life of your setting and learning community.
