These courses will be targeted at KS3 and 4 teaching (with specific training days for
primary teachers and Foundation Stage practitioners) but some of the learning will give
teachers the background information necessary to teach at a higher or lower level.
The aims of the courses:
• Participants will be inspired and empowered to bring ESDGC into their classrooms,
through knowledge, understanding and practical activities.
• They will have a sound understanding of the Common Understanding for ESDGC and
how it relates to the new curricula for Wales and England.
• They will understand important, current issues of Climate Change and Eco Footprinting.
• They will begin to learn how to integrate ESDGC as a whole school management
approach.
