Activity 1 illustrated twelve ways in which the objectives and themes of education for a sustainable future can be integrated as an across-the-curriculum perspective.

This module has focused on only four of these:

Interdisciplinary teaching and learning (Activity 2);
Integration through educational objectives (Activity 3);
Infusion into learning experiences in all subjects (Activity 4); and
Celebrations in the school calendar (Activity 5).

Q8: Which one of these four would be (i) the easiest and (ii) the most difficult to implement in your school? Why?
Developing a School Policy

Integrating education requires a comprehensive school policy and the co-operation of all teachers in the school, as well as students, parents and the wider community.

Six steps could be followed in the policy development process:

Appoint a co-ordinator Publish draft policy
Convene a policy committee Implement action plans
Undertake a school audit process Evaluate and review

Q9: List the steps you would follow in building support for a decision to develop a Policy on Education for a Sustainable Future in your school.
