This
book will enable teachers and managers in the post-compulsory sector to consider
a range of approaches to embed Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in
their practice in the post-compulsory sector.
There will be the opportunity to consider key debates, useful links and
suggested reading to encourage further investigation and development of
practice. Fundamentally, this book aims
to empower teachers to critically analyse ESD through their own subject
specialisms, engage in the debate and learn with their students. Democratic and participative approaches
introduced will help readers to question traditional transmissive styles of
teaching and learning and move on to the radical and transformative approaches
required to embrace ESD. Therefore this book, whilst including illustrative
examples, will encourage the reader to look at their own subject specialisms,
practice, interests and those of their students to co-construct a curriculum that
embeds ESD.
