Guidelines and recommendations for reorienting teacher education to address sustainability (pdf 1mb)

Educating for a more sustainable future in its broadest sense includes improving quality basic education, reorienting education to address sustainability, improving public awareness, and providing training to many sectors of society.

This document focuses on one aspect of education - teacher education - especially the role of institutions of teacher education in reorienting teacher education to address sustainability.

This document is one of the outputs from an International Network of 30 teacher-education institutions in 28 countries, which aims to develop guidelines and recommendations for reorienting teacher education and associated realms of pedagogy, curriculum, and other related issues.

The recommendations concern ministerial and national levels to the local level and cover diverse areas including curriculum, pedagogy, policy, practice, programs, rewards, research, information and computer technology, partnerships, networking and communications.
