About

Curriculum: teaching and learning
Treating environmental sustainability as a core value should lead to governing boards taking a keen interest in how this is covered in the curriculum. As climate change affects many aspects of daily life, climate education should extend beyond science and geography.

As a starting point, you could ask:
What and when do pupils learn about environmental sustainability?
Have pupils been consulted on their experience of the curriculum and teaching and learning on environmental sustainability?
Do pupils have opportunities to learn outdoors (forest school, local visits or residential trips, for example)?
Other considerations that relate to curriculum include:
Collaboration – teachers should be encouraged to share ideas and information
Local, national, global – different contexts should be examined in the curriculum
Extra-curricular clubs and awards can incorporate green skills and knowledge
