Education for Sustainability
EMBEDDING SUSTAINABLE PRACTICE
Bronwyn Joslyn and Stephanie Willey – Environmental Education in Early
Childhood (EEEC)
This interactive workshop aims to discuss education for sustainability and how it can
be embedded into daily practices and the learning environment. Information will be
presented and shared in an interactive way to ensure participants have real discussions
and make real forward plans for their own environments. Participants will be asked
to challenge and reflect on ideas of design and what is meant by the term respectful
environments for successful curriculum.
An effective environment creates places for positive learning, interactions and
engagement. National Quality Standards require educators to look at their
environments as naturally sustainable places, and to engage in ongoing learning about
sustainable strategies that can be used in curriculum with young children.
