- Reorienting education for a
sustainable future: Providing tools and
methods that promote systems
thinking and help develop indicators of
progress-

Deﬁni/ons

Put Simply, Sustainability is . . .

A set of conditions and trends in a
given system that can continue
indefinitely.

Graphically, Sustainability can be
understood like this . . .

Too much

“Sustainability”

Sustainable Development is …
. . . a managed process of
continuous innovation and
systemic change to maintain a
sustainable whole-system
condition into the long-term
future.

Not enough

4 Basic System Conditions for Sustainability
q  Nature: Living within the Earth’s
physical and biological limits;
q Economy; Maintaining a
vital, prosperous economy;
q Society: Supporting social stability,
equity, and development;
q Human Wellbeing: Making
individual opportunity, fulﬁllment,
and happiness possible.

A Compass School is . . ..
q 

is a school which actively incorporates the Sustainability
Compass into any or all aspects of school life in order to
assist with reorienting education to incorporate the
mindset and values of sustainable development in teaching
and learning.
...

Sustainability as Transformative Education
q 

Education “about” Sustainability
Accommodating… is an awareness lesson or theoretical discussion (emphasis
on content, information, knowledge… easily integrated into curricula and
existing paradigms … may not change values and behaviours).

q 

Education “for” Sustainability
Adaptive – Learning for change … is the use of education as a tool to achieve
sustainability (includes knowledge, values and skills … reorientation of
curricula but within existing paradigms... values contradictions between theory
and practice)

q 

Education “as” Sustainability
Transformative – Learning AS Change … Emphasis on process, quality
learning, development of the whole person, involvement of the whole school
community, and transformative learning experiences. Schools provide the role
model for sustainable practices through values & behaviour, holistic learning
experiences, and participative, collaborative, shared leadership / decisionmaking.

The Compass School Approach
n 

n 

A Compass School puts the four dimensions and
five portals into practice by involving the whole
school community – students, teachers and other
staff, members of the local community, parents,
local authorities, local media and businesses.
It encourages teamwork and helps to create a
shared understanding of what it takes to manage
and run a school in a way that contributes to
sustainable development at every level – global,
local, and personal.

Case Study – PTIS International School –
Chiang Mai, Thailand
“The Compass is simple. I can go in depth into discussions with
students and it’s really easy to manage.” - 5th Grade teacher
n 

n 

n 

Curriculum planning. Teachers have used the Compass to guide lesson plans for
reading, writing, math, science, history and other subjects. Teachers have found it
gives them the opportunity to be more creative with their lessons by thinking
“outside the box.”
Strategic planning. Teachers, faculty, parents and student representatives used
the compass to look at sustainability within their whole school community. The
initial process took the form of a whole-day school workshop and provided
practical discussion around sustainability in their school context. One positive
result of the planning was that energy use was cut which ended up saving the
school money.
School lunch. The 4th year students used the Compass as a lens to look at the
school lunch menu. As a result, the menu is more healthy and the school now
buys more fruits and vegetables from the local community, which has reduced
school cafeteria costs.

Case Study – The Prem Tridhos International
School – Chiang Mai, Thailand
n 

n 

Science fair. Students used the Compass in small groups to
design projects for the school science fair.
Community projects. Secondary school students used the
Compass to develop the “Adopt a Dog” project to help a
population of stray dogs at a local temple. Prior to the project,
the dogs were running loose in the community, howling and
barking, and posing health problems – the situation affected
the happiness of the community local businesses. The
students used the Compass to design and carry out the
project through community donations and a partnership with
a local ngo. The dogs they have helped are now healthy, well
fed and many neutered.

In Conclusion . . . .
q 

q 

q 

A Compass School is simply a school that takes its
role and responsibility for helping to build a
sustainable global human society very seriously.
A Compass School actively integrates and infuses
sustainability education into all aspects of the school,
including its vision and mission (education), decisionmaking, its management and operations, the school
buildings, the school culture and its external
relationships with its surrounding community and
others, by using the Compass tool/ lens to do so.
A Compass School takes a Whole School Approach to
Sustainability Education

This framework and worksheets will support
practitioners in doing the thinking and task-planning
necessary at nearly every step of the process. But they
do not impose an overly strict set of categories or linear
sequence. Practitioners are expected to determine
for themselves what the most appropriate
timing, level of complexity, etc. should be for a

Phuket Sustainability Indicator Report 2013

Nature Aspect 1

Coastal Management / Sustainable Beach Program
Why this issue important for Phuket’s Sustainability?

Phuket Sustainability Indicator Report was
presented to the Phuket Governor on 22
November 2013….

The Challenge:
Phuket’s coastal marine environment,
particularly its famous beaches and
water quality are in a state of
degradation and decline.
Our Goal:
Phuket’s coastal environment enjoys
continuous excellent water quality, with
clean beaches that exhibit a natural
condition to a large extent.
Proposed Strategy:
Empower and enable community
volunteer groups to take ownership and
responsibility for beach conditions and
water quality monitoring, and
education for fishing fleet on waste
proper management.
Sustainability Indicators:
Marine Water Quality Index (BOD,
PH, Fecal Coliform)
Beach Quality Index (5 star system)

Tourism is one of two mainstays of the Phuket economy,
and almost all tourists come to Phuket for its famous
white sand beaches and clean, aqua blue marine waters.
These natural treasures are directly influenced by coastal
development planning, pollution, construction, zoning
law enforcement, business licensing, density of vendors,
and litter management, to name but a few. If Phuket’s
beaches are consumed by litter, extensions of restaurants
and bungalows, lounge chairs and umbrellas, vendors and
jet skis, the accumulative effect will soon overwhelm
nature’s resilience mechanisms. It will not be too long
before Phuket will lose the very attributes that its success
has been built upon. Not to say that tourism will stop, but
most likely the outdoor activity and nature related
tourism will be replaced by another type of tourism that
we all do not want.
What is the Trend?
The Phuket Marine Biological Center has implemented
a coastal environment monitoring program for 23
stations along the coastline of Phuket. Some principal
parameters collected for every 2 months include salinity,
temperature, pH, dissolve oxygen, suspended sediment,
nutrients and total coliform bacteria. The result found
that Marine water quality was generally found in good
condition, except in some stations and during certain
period of time that the quality was in fair or poor
conditions.
