Sustainability Education

- Reviews -

The guide is an essential reading for those who engage in teaching and learning about the earth. The book is a capsule on sustainability on understanding the topic, its place in curriculum and teaching pedagogies. It discusses the current needs in transforming education to address the demands of the planet. * Radhika Iyengar, Director of Education, Center for Sustainable Development, The Earth Institute, Columbia University, USA * The educational system we have today was designed to suit the needs of the 19th and 20th century. Now that system is fast becoming out of date! Sustainability Education is a timely book outlining an education fit for the 21st century. The authors and contributors have presented a practical way forward to transform teaching in schools from job centred education to life centred and nature centred education. Every teacher concerned with the wellbeing of people and our precious planet Earth should use this publication as a handbook for regenerative learning. * Satish Kumar, Founder, Schumacher College and Editor Emeritus, Resurgence & Ecologist, UK * This timely guide is posed to reorient thinking on sustainability education. Most importantly, young children are invited to take an active part in this journey. Authors throughout the guide display great care in their pedagogical approaches. The message of harmony, coexistence, peace, love, balance and justice is clear. * Charles Chikunda, National Program Officer - Education for Sustainable Development, UNESCO office in Harare, Zimbabwe * Sustainability Education is a timely and vital manual containing a wide variety of ideas to encourage, support and guide practitioners of all age groups on weaving sustainability into their teaching. * Lucy Neuberger, Classroom Teacher, International Preparatory School, Portugal * The key to tackling any challenge is first to understand it, and perhaps the greatest challenge we face is climate change. So how we approach sustainability education for a younger generation is absolutely vital. This book goes beyond the important discussion of wider issues, to focus on the role of education in sustainability and navigating its complexities. It also sets out practical approaches for educators who are on the front line of helping future generations understand the challenges of the planet they are inheriting. It is an important contribution to an increasingly vital area in education. * The Right Honourable Justine Greening, Former Secretary of State for Education, England * This pivotal book guides us to see sustainability education through a creative, confident and research-rich narrative. By exploring pedagogy, classroom ideas and key enquiry questions, this innovative book challenges and supports all educators towards practical, explanatory critical thinking, enabling action and understanding, vital for the futures for all learners. * Helen Martin, Headteacher Lavington Park Federation- Graffham CE Infant and Duncton CE Junior Schools, West Sussex, UK * A superb discussion of the notion of sustainability and the importance of including sustainability education in the primary curriculum, while illustrating how this can be achieved. A pleasure to read and learn from. * Margaret Mackintosh, Former Senior Lecturer, Primary B. Ed. University of Plymouth, UK * Sustainability Education is an engaging and compelling read which deftly weaves together rich understandings from research with suggestions and ideas for practice. * Elizabeth Rushton, Lecturer in Geography Education, King' s College London, UK *
