What is it?

In this flagship 9-12 months program, we work closely with leaders and educators throughout the whole centre to support you with the durable implementation of Education for Sustainability. From training to advisory and coaching, we hold your hand all along your transformation journey towards Education for Sustainability. We work with you to set your vision, motivate staff to join the effort, develop educators’ skills and confidence, build a clear action plan and very importantly put the theory into practice in the classroom.

The program includes:

  • 2h Education for Sustainability Masterclass for all staff to align everyone behind a shared vision for sustainability

  • Sustainability Action Plan Accelerator engagement to create version 1 of your Sustainability Action Plan aligned to the centre’s philosophy, place and QIP

  • Deep dive training sessions on key topics for selected educators

  • Regular on-the-floor coaching sessions to support educators in moving from theory to practice and turning many play experiences into learning for a sustainable future

  • Tools to measure the impact of the program on educators and the children

  • Dedicated guidance and inspiration from our Director, Dorothée Seeto.

  • A team unified behind a shared vision of what Education for Sustainability looks like for your centre

Dorothée’s course covers all key learning areas of development and includes EYLF outcomes relevant to sustainability/regenerative practices. I have loved the focus of Indigenous perspectives and taking inspiration from nature. Thank you Dorothée for everything you have taught me. It has changed my life and my teaching practices forever in the most wonderful way.
