Successfully integrating Education for Sustainable Development into national curriculum and schools requires educational communities to identify locally relevant issues, skills, values, and behaviors central to sustainable development. However, this process is complex because every education system has its own set of standards, policies, and curriculum goals.
For that reason, Mission 4.7 founding partner the Global Schools Program (GSP) has worked with experts to create a comprehensive online toolkit that will support practitioners, policymakers, and researchers in creating locally relevant curriculum on sustainable development, as well as integrating this curriculum into national priorities. Based on the results of a research pilot carried out in Ghana, Turkey, and Morocco, GSP has designed a guide for analyzing policy and curriculum documents against sustainable development themes, and then adjusting or creating new ESD curricula based on those outcomes.
Join the Global Schools team and SDSN for the launch of the online toolkit: “From Commitment to Action: Integrating Sustainable Development into National Education Priorities. A Practical Guide for Policymakers, Practitioners, and Researchers.”
