Did you see the launch last week of the\u00a0 \u2018tracked changes\u2019 sustainability review<\/a> \u2013 The Primary Curriculum for a Changing Climate<\/em> \u2013 by academics, teachers, and teacher educators? \u00a0This is the project's latest phase. We heard from students, teachers, and academics, and learned more about how the review can be used in schools, and there was a keynote from a children\u2019s author, activist, and entrepreneur.<\/p>\n

If you didn\u2019t get to the launch, you can now view and download the primary documents<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0As these are still working documents, suggestions and critique are welcome. \u00a0They are well worth a study, and the launch webinar can be rewatched or shared with colleagues: Launch Webinar: Primary Curriculum for a Changing Climate (youtube.com)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

All told, I thought was a positive event and unusually well chaired. \u00a0I didn\u2019t find the keynote as exciting as promised but maybe that was just me as it was all familiar stuff. \u00a0The webinar began with youngsters from Corbridge Middle School<\/a> who did a good job in telling us about why climate change education is important for us all from litter to BEVs. \u00a0I did wonder about their script, however; is claiming to be change makers<\/em> typical argot of 10 year olds in the Tyne Valley? \u00a0Maybe it is. \u00a0We also heard from Meryl Bachelder<\/a>, a Corbridge teacher, who did a good job selling the project by talking enthusiastically about how it can be used and its potential. \u00a0She had lots of examples, and was very persuasive.<\/p>\n

This is a commendable initiative in the face of DfE intransigence about changing the curriculum. \u00a0It seems to go from strength to strength.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
