Mobilised by the rousing words and protests of Greta Thunberg,
young people all over the globe are calling for more action to
combat climate change and better protect their futures. Yet they
cannot do this alone. They are reliant on people in positions of
power to set the necessary changes in motion - and these people
include their own school leaders operating within their own local
communities.This book is a rallying cry for all schools to unleash
their potential to deliver a brighter future for both their pupils
and society at large.David Dixon draws on both his doctoral
research and his 20 years' experience as a head teacher to set out
how school leaders can embed eco-friendly practices in the
day-to-day running of their schools that will also contribute to
overall school improvement, including that recognised by
inspectors.David weaves his guidance around the 'five Cs of
sustainability' - captaincy, curriculum, campus, community and
connections - to position sustainability as a natural vehicle for
developing a type of fully integrated learning ecology and culture
for the benefit of all.The book provides a detailed analysis of
where we are now in terms of environmental impact, and lays out a
road map to help schools move towards more effective eco-friendly
provision. It shares practical examples of sustainability in
schools and how these contribute to school improvement in the
wider, more conventional sense too. Furthermore, each chapter
concludes with a series of suggested strategies to encourage
further thought and discussions among school stakeholders.Suitable
for school leaders, teachers and teacher trainers - in both primary
and secondary settings - and for any professionals who work in
schools on environmental education or improvement projects.
