Empowering Teachers through Environmental and Sustainability
Education draws inspiration from an empirical study exploring early
career teachers' attempts at enacting Environmental and
Sustainability Education (ESE) in their everyday teaching
practices. It showcases how a confluence of personal, professional
and environmental identities supports implementation of ESE.
Additionally, this book discusses key concepts and issues
surrounding ESE and the ways in which teachers may claim agency and
power to create change in their classroom practices. Drawing from
theoretical perspectives, such as Bourdieu's 'thinking tools'
habitus and capital, theories of identity, and Foucault's concept
of power and knowledge relations, this book explores how teachers
negotiate policies, curriculum and institutional norms to further
theoretical and practical understanding of ESE. The use of personal
narratives offers new insights into teachers' agency in creating
localised yet powerful change through small and meaningful actions.
The purpose of this book, therefore, is to explore ways in which
meaningful change can be made in educational settings through these
small agentive and yet empowering steps. This book reveals that
teachers can enact agency and navigate the power structures that
exist within educational settings in order to make ESE meaningful
within their classrooms.
