Eco Education Sustainability Development - Buildings & Estate Curriculum Community In 2009 Ofsted conducted a 3-year evaluation across 14 schools looking at how education for sustainable development impacted on improving the broader life of the school. It concluded - All but one of the schools improved by at least one inspection grade Positive links between pupil s involvement in sustainable activities and improvement in their attitude and general behaviour Greater awareness of sustainability led to reduced financial costs and better resource and estate management www.pect Link to the full report and its findings - https://www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/upload/public/attachments/1176/education for sustainable development ofsted 09.pdf http://efsandquality.glos.ac.uk/toolkit/OFSTED Inspections 2012.pdf www.pect.org.uk
Eco Education & Health & Wellbeing Links for the Ofsted Framework - Leadership & Management School Ethos & Environment Curriculum, Teaching & Learning Student Voice Staff Development Health & Wellbeing The DfE identifies that a whole-school approach to promoting good mental health is a protective factor for child and adolescent mental health. Although schools play a significant role in this it is considered good practice be work in a wider multi-agency approach. It is also the perfect way to get parents engaged in learning experiences with their children, as well as governor involvement. www.pect www.pect.org.uk
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), otherwise known as the Global Goals, are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity. The SDGs came into effect on January 2016, and they will continue to guide UNDP policy and funding until 2030, in some 170 countries and territories. There were 1.2 billion young people aged 15-24 years globally in 2015, accounting for one out of every six people worldwide. www.pect By 2030, the target date for the sustainable development goals, this number is projected to have grown by 7 per cent, to nearly 1.3 billion. Young people need to acquire the education and skills to contribute in a productive economy, and they need access to a job market that can absorb them into its labour force. This next generation will be the force for development but only when provided with the knowledge and opportunities needed to thrive. www.pect.org.uk

Eco Framework into Eco Charter www.pect www.pect.org.uk
Eco Charter SMSC & British Values - Enable pupils to develop their self-knowledge, self-esteem and self- confidence Encourage pupils to accept responsibility for their behaviour, show initiative and understand how they can contribute positively to the lives of those living and working in the locality of the school and to society more widely Enable pupils to acquire a broad general knowledge of and respect for public institutions and services in England Encourage respect for other people www.pect Although the Charter is divided up into discrete themes all the themes have cross over and links between them. For any sustainability project to be effective it must be part of a holistic approach. www.pect.org.uk
Eco Charter The Core Document which supports the Charter will outline possible objectives / projects which might be considered for the theme. www.pect It will also support you in providing additional ready made resources from key contacts / organisations. www.pect.org.uk
Eco Charter There are a number of different ways to incorporate the 10 Eco Charter themes into the curriculum. It is very easy to identify ways in which small elements of each theme can fit into any number of these and enhance existing educational practices These could be used instead of a traditional approach to teaching topics and can even form the basis to project based learning across a number of areas at the same time, e.g. national awareness weeks. www.pect www.pect.org.uk

We can announce We are now an official provider of the award which aims to encourage people to connect with, enjoy and care for wild places. www.pect There are 4 sections to the award - Discover a Wild Place - This can be anywhere, school grounds, park, beach, nature reserve ..

This is a really exciting time, with lots of changes coming from charities and organisations as well as central government. However, to keep the provision up dated and in touch with what is happening we need to ensure its future and this means that The Eco Charter has to be self sustaining.
