Welcome to WWF-UK’s teaching and learning section which is dedicated to building teachers’ confidence and capacity to adopt the Learning for Sustainability approach in their teaching and learning practice.

In this section you will find:

• information to help you build your understanding of Learning for sustainability
• tools to help you apply this understanding as you plan topics and develop activities - coming soon
• exemplar activities for you to try out in the classroom - coming soon
• opportunities to share your own activity ideas and examples of good practice - coming soon.

Other parts of this site support such teaching and learning by:

• providing stimulating resources that help build teachers’ capacity
• offering Professional development opportunities
• facilitating learning networks.

Putting the sustainability into teaching and learning

Over the years we’ve been privileged to work with schools throughout the UK as they explore joined-up approaches to Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). The experience of these schools shows the importance of teaching and learning that:

• puts learners at the heart of the process
• shows a logical progression
• develops thinking skills
• encourages informed values and attitudes
• inspires through doing and through direct experiences with the environment
• makes the links, eg between issues, subjects, other places, other times (past, present and future).
