Education for Sustainability is now recognised internationally as the educational and pedagogical platform for teaching in sustainability. Education for Sustainability (EfS) is shorthand for learning-based strategies to stimulate change towards sustainability. While we have an increasing number of courses in Australia about sustainability within many trades and professions, this qualification is the first focussing on education for sustainability. We know that teaching the technical knowledge and skills about sustainability design, materials and technologies does not bring about change in itself without the whole systems knowledge, critical thinking, communication and collaborative skills to educate for a sustainable future.
This Voc Grad Cert in Education and Training for Sustainability is designed for all teachers (VET, University Higher Education, Secondary and Primary) seeking to embed education for sustainability in their curriculum, teaching and assessment. It will also be important for those working for change in sustainability in community groups, local councils, government agencies, industry, and non-government organisations. Specifically, the course will provide participants with the skills and knowledge required to:
- Embed sustainability into learning programs, curriculum and teaching practice
- Facilitate a broad range of delivery and assessment strategies to support change for sustainability
- Plan and implement learning based change programs within their own institution
- Research current and emerging best practices in their industry sector/field of study
