Although this\u00a0is hardly a new question, the paper argues that it is one that needs to be\u00a0emphasised at this time when we see a tightening focus on modifying be<span>haviours, and the conscription of educational institutions and programmes\u00a0to these ends. The essay takes the promotion of Fairtrade, a contemporary\u00a0view on how ESD might be conceptualised, and a recent report from the\u00a0English schools inspectorate, to explore where an appropriate balance might\u00a0be struck between these. The essay argues that, although both educational\u00a0and social outcomes are important, when it comes to making judgements\u00a0about school effectiveness, this needs to be tightly focused on what young\u00a0people are learning rather than on, say, the amount of energy they have\u00a0saved or waste they have recycled. <\/span><\/p>\n<div>The citation is:<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Scott WAH (2009) Judging the Effectiveness of a Sustainable School: a\u00a0brief exploration of issues; <a href=\"http:\/\/jsd.sagepub.com\/\">Journal of Education for Sustainable Development <\/a>3(1) 33 \u2013 39<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>and the pdf is available here:<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bathblogs.wpengine.com\/edswahs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2009\/07\/judging-the-effectiveness-of-a-sustainable-school.pdf\">judging-the-effectiveness-of-a-sustainable-school<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bathblogs.wpengine.com\/edswahs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2009\/07\/judging-the-effectiveness-of-a-sustainable-school.pdf\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This essay explores a central question for all those involved in education\u00a0and sustainability (ESD): What are you really most interested in: educational\u00a0or social outcomes\u2014what learners learn, or what they do?
