Initial Teacher Training and the Transition to Sustainability /Robert Cook.How do we equip learners with the values, knowledge, skills, and motivation to help achieve economic, social and ecological well-being? How can universities make a major contribution towards a more sustainable future? Amid rising expectations on HE from professional associations, funders, policy makers, and undergraduates, and increasing interest amongst academics and senior management, a growing number of higher education institutions are taking the lead in embracing sustainability. This response does not only include greening the campus but also transforming curricula and teaching and learning. 3.

The second part features 13 chapter case studies from teachers and lecturers in diverse disciplines, describing what has worked, how and why - and what hasn't. Whilst the book is organised by traditional disciplines, the authors and editors emphasise transferable lessons and interdisciplinarity so that readers can learn from examples outside their own area to embed sustainability within their own curricula and teaching.This book explains why this is necessary and - crucially - how to do it. Bringing together the experience of the HEFCE funded Centre for Sustainable Futures (CSF) at the University of Plymouth and the Higher Education Academy's Education for Sustainable Development Project, the book distills out the curriculum contributions of a wide range of disciplinary areas to sustainability.Sustainable developmentStudy and teaching (Higher)Environmental educationSustainable developmentStudy and teaching (Higher)Environmental education.338.9270711Jones Paula1878361Selby DavidDr.1878362Sterling Stephen R1878363MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910963193603321Sustainability education4491036UNINA03708nam 22006375 450 991049215040332120251230064543.03-030-79641-810.1007/978-3-030-79641-9(CKB)4100000011979467(MiAaPQ)EBC6676014(Au-PeEL)EBL6676014(OCoLC)1260344844(PPN)260301361(BIP)80869731(BIP)80380516(DE-He213)978-3-030-79641-9(EXLCZ)99410000001197946720210710d2021 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierNew Approaches of Geotechnical Engineering: Soil Characterization, Sustainable Materials and Numerical Simulation Proceedings of the 6th GeoChina International Conference on Civil & Transportation Infrastructures: From Engineering to Smart & Green Life Cycle Solutions -- Nanchang, China, 2021 /edited by Jinwoo An, Jizhe Zhang, Juan Xie1st ed. 2021.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2021.1 online resource (127 pages)Sustainable Civil Infrastructures,2366-34133-030-79640-X Chapter 1.
