College Learning for Sustainability
Champions Programme

Learning for Sustainability Scotland (RCE Scotland)
Scottish Context for Sustainability
Scottish Context for LfS
Embedded in schools’
Curriculum for Excellence (2010)
2013 LfS recommendations
report brought together:
• Education for Sustainable
Development
• Outdoor Learning
• Global Citizenship
Vision 2030+ and LfS Action Plan
Scottish Context for LfS
‘Learning for sustainability (LfS) is an approach to life and
learning which enables learners, educators, schools and
their wider communities to build a socially-just,
sustainable and equitable society. An effective whole
school and community approach to LfS weaves together
global citizenship, sustainable development education and
outdoor learning to create coherent, rewarding and
transformative learning experiences.’
Education Scotland 2019
Scottish Context for LfS
Leadership in Environmental and Social Sustainability
‘…provide a better learner experience for both
students and staff and ensure that students develop
the understanding of environmental and social
sustainability required for the workplaces of
tomorrow’.
Outcome Agreement Guidance
Scottish Funding Council, 2018
Scottish Context for LfS
Sustainability in learning and teaching
‘Themes of sustainability and the impacts of
course-relevant decisions on people and the
environment, should permeate teaching practice,
inform it, and be made explicit to learners.’
Professional Standards for Lecturers in Scotland’s Colleges
College Development Network, 2018
Sounds great! However…
Most teaching staff don’t understand the requirements
• At best, they see LfS as teaching certain topics
• They don’t see relevance to their courses or students
• They don’t know anything about effective LfS
teaching approaches
• They have too much else going on to seek support
→ LfSS and EAUC Project Idea
College LfS Champions Concept
• Train one representative in every department to be
their Learning for Sustainability Champion
– Develop their own understanding and practice
– Develop their skills to support others in their department
• Promote links between the formal curriculum, the
campus environment and local community
• Develop a whole institutional approach to LfS
• Equip students with the values, skills, and
knowledge to take action on sustainability

SDGs and D&A College campus developments and
your subject areas?
Introduction Session Activity
Online Learning Platform
Performing Arts – HND Dance: End of year show
(18 students, 180 people attended over 3 nights)
LfS Course Unit Activity Example
• Students developed the themes:
plastics, climate change,
responsibility
• Plastic props collected over 3 weeks
• Costumes all second hand
• Director of Estates brought to tears!
• Positive feedback from participants
• Engaged with the topic and understood their role
• Enjoyed the mix of face-to-face and online activities
• Busy time of year prevented full engagement
Results from the Pilot - Individual
• All but one department completed the programme
• Champions requested to continue to meet to
develop an LfS Policy at the College
• “The College LfS Champions programme gave us the
opportunity, structure and framework to embed the
importance of environmental and social sustainability
into the Learning & Teaching of all areas of the College
in a fun, practical and engaging way.”
Simon Hewitt, Vice Principal (Curriculum & Attainment)
Results from the Pilot - Institution
Results from the Pilot - Institution
Next Steps
About to Launch…
• Call for two more colleges to develop LfS Champions
• Participants from both colleges will go through the
programme together
• Individual introduction and review sessions on
campus but simultaneously doing online activities
• Link up staff teaching same subject areas in
different colleges
• Ideally one face-to-face event bringing the LfS
Champions from all three colleges together
Conclusions
• Having the policy context is great, but skilling up the
teachers is just as important
• Course structure worked well for developing
knowledge and skills in teaching staff
• Champions seem keen and engaged so far
• Whether they can successfully embed it in all
teaching is still to be seen
• Definitely has made an improvement!

College Learning for Sustainability Champions Programme

  • 1. College Learning for Sustainability Champions Programme Rebecca Petford Learning for Sustainability Scotland (RCE Scotland)
  • 2. Scottish Context for Sustainability
  • 3. Scottish Context for LfS Embedded in schools’ Curriculum for Excellence (2010) 2013 LfS recommendations report brought together: • Education for Sustainable Development • Outdoor Learning • Global Citizenship Vision 2030+ and LfS Action Plan
  • 4. Scottish Context for LfS ‘Learning for sustainability (LfS) is an approach to life and learning which enables learners, educators, schools and their wider communities to build a socially-just, sustainable and equitable society. An effective whole school and community approach to LfS weaves together global citizenship, sustainable development education and outdoor learning to create coherent, rewarding and transformative learning experiences.’ Education Scotland 2019
  • 5. Scottish Context for LfS Leadership in Environmental and Social Sustainability ‘…provide a better learner experience for both students and staff and ensure that students develop the understanding of environmental and social sustainability required for the workplaces of tomorrow’. Outcome Agreement Guidance Scottish Funding Council, 2018
  • 6. Scottish Context for LfS Sustainability in learning and teaching ‘Themes of sustainability and the impacts of course-relevant decisions on people and the environment, should permeate teaching practice, inform it, and be made explicit to learners.’ Professional Standards for Lecturers in Scotland’s Colleges College Development Network, 2018
  • 7. Sounds great! However… Most teaching staff don’t understand the requirements • At best, they see LfS as teaching certain topics • They don’t see relevance to their courses or students • They don’t know anything about effective LfS teaching approaches • They have too much else going on to seek support → LfSS and EAUC Project Idea
  • 8. College LfS Champions Concept • Train one representative in every department to be their Learning for Sustainability Champion – Develop their own understanding and practice – Develop their skills to support others in their department • Promote links between the formal curriculum, the campus environment and local community • Develop a whole institutional approach to LfS • Equip students with the values, skills, and knowledge to take action on sustainability
  • 10. Course Programme - 10 Weeks Time Delivery Theme Week 1 (4 hours) In person Welcome and Introduction Weeks 1-2 (2 hours) Online Introduction to Learning for Sustainability Weeks 3-4 (2 hours) Online LfS: exploring values and perspectives Weeks 5-6 (2 hours) Online LfS: teaching and learning in an interdependent world Weeks 7-8 (2 hours) Online LfS: opportunities for student engagement Weeks 9-10 (2 hours) Online Developing strategies for support and action Week 10 (3 hours) In person Sharing and Review
  • 12. Introduction Session Activity Where are there/could there be links between the global/local sustainability themes addressed in the SDGs and D&A College campus developments and your subject areas?
  • 15. Performing Arts – HND Dance: End of year show (18 students, 180 people attended over 3 nights) LfS Course Unit Activity Example • Students developed the themes: plastics, climate change, responsibility • Plastic props collected over 3 weeks • Costumes all second hand • Director of Estates brought to tears!
  • 16. • Positive feedback from participants • Engaged with the topic and understood their role • Enjoyed the mix of face-to-face and online activities • Busy time of year prevented full engagement Results from the Pilot - Individual
  • 17. • All but one department completed the programme • Champions requested to continue to meet to develop an LfS Policy at the College • “The College LfS Champions programme gave us the opportunity, structure and framework to embed the importance of environmental and social sustainability into the Learning & Teaching of all areas of the College in a fun, practical and engaging way.” Simon Hewitt, Vice Principal (Curriculum & Attainment) Results from the Pilot - Institution
  • 18. Results from the Pilot - Institution
  • 20. About to Launch… • Call for two more colleges to develop LfS Champions • Participants from both colleges will go through the programme together • Individual introduction and review sessions on campus but simultaneously doing online activities • Link up staff teaching same subject areas in different colleges • Ideally one face-to-face event bringing the LfS Champions from all three colleges together
  • 21. Conclusions • Having the policy context is great, but skilling up the teachers is just as important • Course structure worked well for developing knowledge and skills in teaching staff • Champions seem keen and engaged so far • Whether they can successfully embed it in all teaching is still to be seen • Definitely has made an improvement!
  • 22. Any Questions? Rebecca Petford: rpetford@eauc.org.uk Betsy King: Betsyking@lfsscotland.org
