Strategic, Challenging and Accountable: A governor's guide to sustainable schools
12/06/07 10:12 Filed in: Education
The Sustainable Schools agenda, launched by the DfES
in 2006, places the child at the centre of its
concerns for a healthy, just and sustainable society.
The strategies outlined are not only about auditing
current patterns - from energy and water to food and
drink - but also how to think creatively to build a
sustainable future. This document discusses the
contributions and responsibilities of school
governors in promoting sustainability. It focuses on
specific sectors of sustainability providing case
studies and ideas. In addition, there is a
presentation with notes, designed for governors to
use as a starting point in their meetings (taking
about 30 minutes); and a 2 hour workshop with notes
and handouts, designed for experienced facilitators
to use with governors and school leaders.
