Professional Development Workshop ‘Building Ecological Literacy: Outdoor Learning & Sustainability across the Curriculum’
The workshop:
- Demonstrates how outdoor experiential activities can be linked to the curriculum in English, Science, Geography, Maths, and the Arts;
- Gives examples of how the Australian Curriculum cross-curriculum priority area of Sustainability and simple themes of ecology can be embedded in teaching across the Learning Areas;
- Introduces participants to approaches from Deep Ecology and Place-Based Education that you can use with your students to increase their ecological literacy;
- Explores how these approaches can support students to have the knowledge, understandings and skills to engage in creating a more sustainable world.
Emma generally runs this Building Ecological Literacy workshop once a year.
We are also available to come to your school to run PD sessions for staff that are linked to the Australian Curriculum in the areas of Building Eco-Literacy, Place-Based Education, Deep Ecology for schools, and Waste Education.
