"It is not the role of schools to solve the climate crisis or any
of the other multiple crises now facing humankind. But it is
powerfully their role, if they so choose, to equip young people as
well as possible to deal with the consequences of the serious
problems they will be inheriting from their elders, not betters."
Could it be our collective failure to respond effectively to the
threat of the climate emergency or the challenges of the pandemic
has been shaped to a small but significant degree by the nature of
the learning that happens in our schools and a failure to enable
young people to learn appropriately there? That question lies at
the heart of this thought-provoking new book as it unpicks the
concept of deep learning for future sustainability. This combines
deep understanding with action, and links both to moral purpose. It
is not enough just to be concerned about climate change - awareness
must lead to action. The book draws on an eclectic range of
sources, case studies of actual practice, critical perspectives and
opportunities for reflection. The authors argue that first and
foremost it is for educators and leaders to get on as best they can
in their own school context to do what is both necessary and right
to secure learning fit for a just and sustainable future
irrespective of governmental lead in these matters. In doing so the
authors set out some clear evidence-informed principles for school
development and leadership that are central to the success of that
mission.
