A novel approach to educating future teachers about the environment and sustainability
黑料社鈥檚 Faculty of Education is pioneering a new approach to sustainability education that goes beyond traditional teaching methods. Led by Associate Professor Blane Harvey, with contributions from PhD candidate Stephanie Leite, the initiative uses a co-design and co-teaching model where students, schoolteachers, and community members collaborate to develop and deliver courses. This inclusive process integrates scientific, emotional, and justice-based perspectives鈥攈elping future educators address eco-anxiety while preparing young learners to think critically about climate and sustainability. With new funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), the project is expanding internationally, offering a model for how universities can reimagine teacher education in the face of global environmental challenges.
