Learning Action 3: A Case Story

The third step in the ‘Sustainability Starts with Teachers’ programme is to critically reflect on transformative learning approaches and how we can integrate them into our teaching. It also focuses on how to transform learning environments to be more sustainable and more socially just.

Learning Outcomes

At the end of this learning action, you will have:

  • Selected and chosen a range of methods that could help with a transformative learning (T-learning) approach to ESD, and which can also potentially contribute to wider social learning.
  • Encouraged students to contribute to ‘green, socially just campus’ developments in order to transform learning environments that model sustainable development praxis.

Starting out: Review your own practice

This Learning Action focuses on transformative teaching and learning methods, and on transforming learning environments. To start out, it could be helpful to complete the reflective activity in which you look at what you are already doing in the Learning Action 3 Booklet. The reflective task will also help you to consider how you might extend or transform the methods you are already using or promoting amongst your students in your courses, and you could consider elaborating on the methods you already use, adding to them and trying out some new ones.
