From IB: Education For Sustainability: Students Lead The Way

ISIS-compass-WSPUBLISHED: JANUARY 2014

A position paper (links below) from International Baccalaureate examines the origins and evolution of sustainability education (SE) before outlining one expression of contemporary good practice in SE in a school context, including the ways in which schools can assess progress towards sustainability.

Commonalities between the IB learner profile and good practice in SE are identified and questions for self-reflection are posed. The paper concludes with the examination of a case study of an IB World School that is embracing a student-led, whole-school approach to sustainability.

Notre Dame is an IB World School.

English: Education for sustainability
French: Éducation à la durabilité
Spanish: La educación para la sustentabilidad
