Effective Teaching Strategies for
Education for Sustainability (EfS)
This online course will help prepare you to incorporate education that supports
sustainability in your school or classroom. The concept of sustainability and conceptual
frameworks related to education for sustainability will be briefly reviewed. You will
then learn about several teaching strategies that can be used to promote sustainable
thinking and practices, including inquiry-based learning, place-based education,
service-learning, and using the school buildings and grounds as a teaching tool. By the
end of this course, you will be familiar with each strategy and have an initial plan for
adopting at least one into your teaching practice.
