The Challenge

Bring sustainability into your teaching without adding more to an already full curriculum.

Education for Sustainable Development can feel like one more thing to fit into an already crowded curriculum. How can you connect sustainability to your subject in a meaningful way, without creating new lessons, stepping outside your expertise or adding to your workload?

Imagine a better way

What if sustainability became a natural part of what you already teach?

Imagine being able to connect your existing curriculum to real-world sustainability issues through simple, tangible examples of change already happening around us.
By learning to identify and use signals of change, you can help students explore possible futures, make meaningful connections to your subject and develop greater agency and hope, without creating an entirely new curriculum.

Connect ESD to your curriculum: Discover how to use signals of change as practical entry points for sustainability within the subjects you already teach.

Find and use real-world signals: Learn how to identify meaningful signals of change and turn them into relevant classroom learning opportunities.

Help students explore change: Guide students to investigate signals themselves, make connections and explore what they could mean for possible futures.

What you will experience

You will learn a practical method for finding signals of change and turning them into meaningful learning opportunities.

Put It Into Practice

Move from spotting a signal to using it in your own teaching.

Through guided activities and practical curriculum examples, you’ll work through the process of finding a real-world signal of change, exploring what it might tell us about the present and possible futures, and connecting it meaningfully to your own subject and learning objectives.

Using the course workbook, you’ll begin turning that signal into an approach you can take back and use with your students.
