Education for Sustainable Development Curriculum Design Toolkit: Ajman University Webinar

Description

Embedding sustainability in the curriculum is morally and ethically imperative, but also increasingly stakeholders are demanding that sustainability feature so graduates can tackle sustainability issues faced in employment. Graduates need an understanding of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and to develop abilities across the eight ESD competencies, therefore holding sustainability at the core of their professional and personal practice to make changes locally and globally for sustainable and equitable world (Giangrande et al., 2019).
Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) presents a viable theoretical orientation for doing so, but like many theoretical pedagogical orientations, educators face difficulty operationalising it (Higgins, 2022). In response to this need, the presenters developed the Co-Designing Reflective Approaches for the Teaching of Sustainability (CRAFTS) curriculum design model (Higgins & Calvert, 2024) and were commissioned by AdvanceHE to develop the internationally implemented ESD Curriculum Design Toolkit.
Through this workshop, participants will leave with a good understanding of ESD and its core competencies, as well as emerging knowledge on how to engage learners in sustainability through co-creation, transformative pedagogy, active learning, and authentic assessment Participants will have an opportunity to discover more about the CRAFTS model and receive an overview of the toolkit in preparation for future development in this area.
