10 By Leaves We Live This is a green world, with animals comparatively few and small, and all dependent on the leaves. By leaves we live. Some people have strange ideas that they live by money. They think energy is generated by the circulation of coins. Whereas the world is mainly a vast leaf colony, growing on and forming a leafy soil, not a mere mineral mass: and we live not by the jingling of our coins, but by the fullness of our harvests. Sir Patrick Geddes, 1919
11 I am biogeochemical cycles!
12 We are nature and we know it in our guts guts!
13 Understand how we are all dependent on planetary systems a part of rather than apart from the environment

21 Sustainable Development Sustainable (?) development (?) is development that meets the needs (?) of the present without compromising the ability of future generations (?) to meet their own needs. Our Common Future: Report of the World Commission on Environment and Development (The Brundtland Report) October 1987 IV. Conclusion 81. In its broadest sense, the strategy for sustainable development aims to promote harmony among human beings and between humanity and nature.
22 1992 Earth Summit - Agenda 21 Chapter 36 Education, training and public awareness Education for Sustainable Development
23 It s not all about polar bears! Qualitative research reveals that in motivated individuals who have already adopted lower-carbon lifestyles, protecting the environment per se is not the primary value stimulating most interviewees action; typically they were more concerned about the impacts of climate change on people in developing countries. Biospheric values were important but not as important as altruistic values. Rachel Howell, 2013
24 Global Citizenship
25 So we need ESD and Global Citizenship then? Education for Sustainable Development Global Citizenship
26 Self-transcendence Spirituality Conformity Community Extrinsic Intrinsic Popularity Image Affiliation Financial success Physical self Hedonism Physical health Safety Self-acceptance Kasser & Ryan (1996), Grouzet et al. (2005)
27 The role of contact with nature Influences on the development of pro-environmental behaviours included direct contact with nature, eco-literacy (knowledge of basic ecological principles and understanding of one s place in the ecosystem), sense of place, connection to nature, critical and reflective thinking skills etc. and a sense of being willing to take responsibility for one s actions (and so become agents of change) (Christie & Higgins, 2012). Education, specifically the process of teaching and learning outdoors, is well placed to deliver aspects of these positive, connecting experiences. This means that a rounded concept of learning for sustainability must acknowledge the significance of outdoor learning experiences. (Christie & Higgins, 2012) Nature immersion elicited higher valuing of intrinsic motivations and lower valuing of extrinsic aspirations, whereas those immersed in non-natural environments reported increased valuing of extrinsic aspirations and no change of intrinsic aspirations (Weinstein et al, 2009).
28 Outdoor Learning can help young people engage with biodiversity and understand and care about complex issues e.g. ecosystem services, sustainability & climate change. (Christie & Higgins, 2012)

38 Definitions The members of the Working Group agreed on the term learning for sustainability as it was closest to the remit of the Working Group, and this term is now consistently used and accepted within our educational language: a whole school approach that enables the school and its wider community to build the values, attitudes, knowledge, skills and confidence needed to develop practices and take decisions which are compatible with a sustainable and more equitable future.
39 A framework for learning outdoors The journey through education for any child in Scotland must include opportunities for a series of planned, quality outdoor learning experiences. Learning & Teaching Scotland 2010 p. 5
40 The role of direct experience of nature The One Planet Schools Ministerial Advisory Group concluded that: Outdoor learning, direct experience of the landscape and the natural and cultural heritage of Scotland helps all young people and teachers understand the Earth s systems, develop respect and care for our planet, create a personal connection with the environment and, as recent research has shown, improves their physical, mental and emotional health and wellbeing.

47 One Planet Schools Ministerial Advisory Group: Five Key Recommendations 1. all learners should have an entitlement to Learning for Sustainability 2. every practitioner, school and education leader should demonstrate Learning for Sustainability in their practice; 3. every school should have a whole school approach to Learning for Sustainability that is robust, demonstrable, evaluated and supported by leadership at all levels; 4. school buildings, grounds and policies should support Learning for Sustainability; 5. there should be a strategic national approach to supporting Learning for Sustainability Scottish Ministers accepted all 31 recommendations in March 2013
48 Learning for Sustainability: Implementation Group The role of the Implementation Group is to drive forward the 31 recommendations of the Learning for Sustainability Report in the context of the curriculum. Secretariat is provided by Scottish Government and the UN Centre of Expertise in ESD (LfSScotland) The group reported progress to Scottish Ministers in March 2016

53 A policy agenda for the future...?
54 SDGs and Closing the attainment gap The SDGs offer a vision for the world that I believe the people of Scotland share the aims set out by the UN form an agenda for tackling some of the world s greatest problems. Unlike the Millennium Development Goals these will not be restricted to developing countries but will be universal, applying to all countries including Scotland. Nicola Sturgeon, First Minister, July 2015 This government is doing all in its power to eradicate poverty in Scotland but it will never be an excuse for poverty to be an excuse for failure and we will not have completed our work until every child in every community has every chance to succeed. Angela Constance, Education Secretary, May 2015)
55 The contributions of ESD to quality education edu (UNESCO) Education is more effective when global and local sustainability issues are integrated throughout the curriculum. When curricula are delivered in local social, economic, and environmental contexts, traditional learning outcomes are maintained or even heightened while additional, enhanced, and transformational learning occurs to both primary and secondary students. All of these attributes coincide with higher order skill levels in the PISA tests. ESD and PISA are synergistic in many ways. Laurie, R. et al. (2016). Contributions of ESD to Quality Education: A Synthesis of Research. Journal of Education for Sustainable Development,10 (2), p.
