2004-055. Making teaching sustainable. The sheets are intended as introductions to making bioscience teaching more sustainable, with hints and tips on practical steps to improving sustainability in lectures, practical sessions, tutorials, lectures, on fieldtrips and also your office or working area.
The tips in the sheets are intended both for individuals and also as ideas that could be raised with, or passed on to, an estates department or a departmental or institutional environmental committee. The sheets also contain some ideas on introducing sustainability issues to students and into teaching. The sheets were authored by Alzena Wilmot, who worked on the project "Towards the Sustainable teaching of bioscience" funded through the Centre's Departmental Teaching Enhancement Scheme. Reorienting Education to Address Sustainability. ESD is more than a knowledge base related to environment, economy, and society.
It also addresses learning skills, perspectives, and values that guide and motivate people to seek sustainable livelihoods, participate in a democratic society, and live in a sustainable manner. ESD also involves studying local and, when appropriate, global issues. Therefore, these five (i.e., knowledge, skills, perspectives, values, and issues) must all be addressed in a formal curriculum that has been reoriented to address sustainability.
