The document describes a partnership development schools project with the following objectives: to enhance resources for physics and chemistry teaching, improve subject knowledge and skills for delivering the science curriculum, and encourage other schools to provide quality placements in these subjects. Trainees and schools created video and other resources of key experiments. The project had positive impacts on trainees like improved motivation and subject knowledge. It also provided leadership opportunities, peer support and experience demonstrating experiments. The project disseminated resources through videos online and sharing with schools and increased paired placements in the subjects. It benefited teachers through professional development and led to a more positive culture around initial teacher training in the partner schools.
The Next Move - Delivering a World-Class ProgrammeNick Hassey
The document discusses research conducted by Teach First to redesign its leadership development and teacher training program. Key findings from the research include:
1. Initial training needs to focus on key teaching skills like classroom management, assessment, and planning to prepare participants for the classroom. Ongoing support is also needed, especially for struggling teachers.
2. In-school mentors are important for support, but their ability varies depending on time and expertise. University tutors provide expert guidance but cannot visit frequently. Teach First officers currently focus on leadership over teaching skills.
3. Longer-term development of teachers should focus on improving subject knowledge, instructional practices, use of data, and teacher collaboration. Support

Los antiguos griegos propusieron diferentes teorías sobre la naturaleza de la luz, considerando que emanaba de los objetos o de los ojos. En el siglo XVII, Newton formuló la teoría corpuscular de que la luz consiste en partículas, mientras que Huygens propuso la teoría ondulatoria de que la luz es una onda. Hoy se acepta que la luz es radiación electromagnética que puede comportarse como partículas (fotones) o ondas.

Orthokeratology has been used since the 1960s to temporarily reshape the cornea and correct refractive errors using rigid gas permeable contact lenses. Its use has grown significantly over the past few decades, especially in Asia where myopia rates have increased rapidly. Recent studies estimate over 1.8 million patients using orthokeratology in China alone. While orthokeratology has been shown to slow myopia progression by 40-60% compared to glasses or soft lenses, researchers aim to develop new customized lens designs and methods that can achieve 100% control of myopia progression by inducing precise peripheral defocus through contact lenses or glasses.

This document proposes a new infrastructure for professional learning and development (PLD) across New Zealand's compulsory education sector. It recommends establishing a National Professional Learning Centre within the Ministry of Education to oversee PLD. The Centre would be governed by a board including stakeholders and experts, and managed by Ministry and sector personnel. It would design PLD based on evidence and data, provide curriculum support, accredit external personnel, and conduct research. The goal is to support schools and teachers in engaging in ongoing, evidence-informed inquiry to improve student outcomes through developing teaching practices. Both internal and external expertise would work together to effectively deliver PLD.

University of Liverpool case study Developing Inclusive CulturesSarra_Saffron_Powell
The University of Liverpool is committed to ensuring that all students have access to a high quality, world-class education and remains determined to further develop an inclusive culture that is of benefit to all staff and students. Inclusive practice is institutionally defined as “acknowledging people with differing approaches to life, work and study as members of diverse communities. The evolution of an inclusive approach is underpinned by change processes that impact strategic and day to day activities across local, national and international contexts. The University of Liverpool aims to establish a culture where diversity is considered a distinct strength and viewed as a valuable resource for all, thus promoting education as a transformative process” (adapted from Booth and Ainscow, 2000).

This year the University has been engaged in an HEA Strategic Enhancement Programme (SEP) project on
embedding employability. The programme has allowed the University to focus on a development alongside
about 30 other institutions and this has enabled us to benchmark our thinking. The project team has been made
up of people in the departments of Media Arts & Computing, English, and Maths, colleagues from the Hallam
Union and developers with an expertise in PPDP, lifewide learning and social media for learning from QESS
and ACES.
Our focus has been a critical re-imagining of Personal & Professional Development Planning (PPDP) in the
context of lifewide learning and social media. The SEP project, then, has created some space for us to consider
examples of good practice in the University and across the sector.
The document summarizes 10 projects funded by the Green Apple Scheme at the University of Bristol to develop education for sustainable development. It describes projects such as developing a Green Impact program to engage primary health care practices in sustainability, integrating sustainability into teacher education programs, and using community engagement and fieldwork to teach sustainability concepts across various disciplines like archaeology, anthropology, and anatomy. The report provides high-level overviews of the projects and their goals to promote sustainability education within and across academic disciplines.
1. Nottingham Trent University
Sustainability Professional Award
Dr Petra Molthan-Hill
About the project
Summary
Petra has been leading the Green Academy at Nottingham
Trent University (NTU) since 2013, developing innovative curricular
and extra-curricular projects in Education for Sustainable Development.
In the last year the focus has been on integrating the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs) into the core curriculum for all 640 courses at NTU. Staff development workshops and a
wealth of supporting learning resources for staff and students have been designed, ranging from
Astrophysics to Medieval History to Social Science. More specifically, detailed seminar suggestions,
workshops and bigger projects on how to integrate the SDGs into Marketing, Accounting, Innovation
etc. were collected and are presented in the second edition of ‘The Business Student’s Guide to
Sustainable Management’ (edited by Petra, forthcoming in January 2017). Since 2010 Petra has led
the Greenhouse Gas Management Project at NTU, which won the Guardian University Award for 2015
in Business Partnership together with NetPositive Ltd. Petra is also the Co-Chair of the PRME
Working Group on Climate Change and Environment with the aim to share innovative curricular and
extra-curricular teaching material worldwide.
Project partners
The Green Academy team works with a variety of different departments across the institution such as
the Environment Team and Nottingham Trent Students’ Union (NTSU) and with strong support from
the Sustainable Action Forum (SAF), where Petra is Deputy Chair. SAF promotes the engagement
and use of internal resources and knowledge to facilitate enhancement of curriculum, research and
campus with regards to sustainability. The Senior Pro Vice-Chancellor chairs this forum or her
designate; and membership includes academics from each school (including research communities),
the Environment Manager, two delegates from the NTSU and key representatives from professional
services. In addition Petra chairs the TILT Education for Sustainable Futures group that is part of the
Trent Institute of Learning and Teaching (TILT) initiative at NTU. The group offers academics a
platform for exchanging experiences and knowledge, as well as an opportunity to give support to
colleagues across all disciplines. As mentioned above, with regards to the Greenhouse Gas
Management Project, Petra has formed multiple external partnerships. Last but not least Petra works
closely with other researchers in NTU’s Responsible and Sustainable Business Lab.

2. The results
The problem
In 2013, Petra welcomed the opportunity to apply and take part in the Higher Education Academy
(HEA) Green Academy Institutional Change programme 2013/2014. NTU had already been very
successful in ‘greening’ its operations, but the integration of these topics into the curriculum was rather
patchy, with some academic schools, such as Nottingham Business School, being more proactive in
offering, for example, the Greenhouse Gas Management Project. Previous transdisciplinary work
undertaken by Petra often faced internal barriers or academic problems such as how to define
sustainability across all disciplines.
The approach
In our NTU Green Academy we decided to focus on sustainability challenges instead of sustainability
as a concept, more specifically on food as a unifying theme. The ’Food for Thought’ project had two
strands to it, an extracurricular strand, including a ‘Superkitchen’, ‘Vegetable Varsity’, ‘Foodshare
Allotment’ and Let’s get cooking’ and a curricular strand labelled ‘Appetite for change’. In order to
reach all 28,000 students simultaneously we designed an online course, the ‘Sustainability in Practice
Certificate’, which students could get in addition to the degree. The later was shortlisted for the Green
Gown Awards in 2014.
Due to its success, NTU’s Green Academy became a permanent project in 2014, making NTU one of
the few universities in the UK to have a dedicated team delivering on ESD initiatives. Initially
consisting of just Petra and two other colleagues, with some hours allocated each for their involvement
in Green Academy work, a part-time Administrator, and 4 interns on temporary contracts, the Green
Academy now has 5 permanent members of staff making it a unique resource allowing for observable
results in the field of sustainability learning. Food is still an important topic, but the Sustainability in
Practice (SiP) Certificate is now offered for three subthemes: Energy, Clothing and Food. The SiP is
also integrated into some core curricula with tailored versions e.g. for Sustainable Tourism and
Chemistry.
Our goals
The Green Academy is committed to sending students out into the world as global citizens, building on
the links between sustainability literacy and employability and striving to support the incorporation of
Future Thinking in all NTU courses. The aim is to foster students' abilities to understand and contribute
in meaningful ways towards current and future challenges in the area of sustainable development.
Obstacles and solutions
Engaging more students
By embedding the teaching content of the Sustainability in Practice
Certificate within both Masters and Undergraduate modules at NBS as a
compulsory element since 2014, each year approximately 250 and 900
3. students respectively were encouraged to explore the meanings of
sustainability and food.
Lack of staff resource
In order to deliver the Sustainability in Practice Certificate with only a
small team of staff Petra recruited 2 academics from each academic
school within the institution to act as ‘advisors’ for the module in its
development stage, ensuring that it met the needs of students from each
school. Under her encouragement, the advisors and their colleagues, 46
Academics in total, contributed over 55 sets of subject-specific resources
to complement the more generic certificate content; resources which can
be re-used in teaching outside the certificate.
Widening the reach
The Green Academy has taken an institution wide approach to ESD by
having a proactive role in positively impacting a ‘Curriculum Refresh’
programme at NTU, ensuring that course leaders integrate aspects of
ESD in the courses as a whole for 2016/17 onwards.
Performance and results
The Sustainability in Practice (SiP) Certificate : This innovative online certificate launched in 2013
and delivered through the Nottingham Online Workspace (NOW), aims to foster personal, disciplinary
and inter-disciplinary understandings of sustainability using food as a key theme. To date, the
Certificate is in its 4th year running, with 4917 participants & 320 completions. The Certificate has
gone from strength to strength, with 2 new themes for 2016/17 in addition to Food: Energy & Clothing,
due to numerous examples of positive feedback from students and colleagues.
‘Future Thinking’: Taking inspiration from the QAA Guidance, Petra co-created NTU’s ‘Future
Thinking Framework’, which has since become embedded as an element of the ‘Curriculum Refresh’
process: a project that will assess all of the 640 courses (both undergraduate and taught
postgraduate), over a period of 3 years commencing in spring 2016. All courses will need to
demonstrate how they align with elements of NTU’s strategic plan, of which sustainability is a key
component and will need to address at least one of the United Nations Sustainable Development
Goals.
‘The Future Thinking Learning Room’: created to support members of staff with the sustainability
section of Curriculum Refresh. The learning room, which is an innovative online resource library
created and designed by the NTU Green Academy, means that ESD no longer needs to be an
afterthought when it comes to curriculum content and instead allows it to be an easily achievable
priority for course leaders across all academic departments. The Green Academy also runs staff
development workshops for course leaders and other members of staff.
The Greenhouse Gas Management Project: How can universities help businesses to combat
climate change? In a unique partnership Nottingham Business School has teamed up with NetPositive
Ltd to do exactly this: As part of their core curriculum students act as consultants to businesses
helping them to reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions and achieve Investor in the Environment (iiE)
4. Accreditation. Over 400 business students, 95 businesses/organizations including 4 NHS Clinical
Commissioning Groups have so far taken part. Quote from participant: “It was a really enjoyable
experience and has inspired me to investigate jobs in the energy/sustainability sector as a future
career path….”
Petra has been involved in many more projects for example working with multiple agents and
colleagues at NBS to become Partner in ABIS (The Academy of Business in Society). She is the sole
editor for the textbook ‘The Business Student’s Guide to Sustainable Management’, published by
Greenleaf in 2014, with a second edition to be released shortly, which will be endorsed by PRME and
will offer teaching material in relation to the Sustainable Development Goals. Petra is also
collaborating with the National Union of Students (NUS) in order to work towards NTU gaining the
‘Responsible Futures’ accreditation.
