Colleagues,
I have just completed a piece of research for the UK's South West
Learning for Sustainability Coalition – Developing the Sustainable
School: thinking the issues through
The report looks at the idea of the sustainable school in terms of a
contribution to sustainable development, and uses Daly and Meadows'
capitals theory to do this. It builds on previous work about the
stages that a sustainable school might go through in its development,
and on several research studies over the past 10 years. The result is
three sets of descriptors that might help a school’s thinking about
what it wants to do next as it works towards a greater contribution
towards sustainability.
I hope you find it of interest and use.
Bill
