Nové publikace - Education for Sustainable Development Toolkit
Dear Colleague I am pleased to announce the publication of version 2 of the
Education for Sustainable Development Toolkit.. The URL is www.esdtoolkit.org
[http://www.esdtoolkit.org]. Version 2 has several new components including a
section on managing change, links to WWW resources related to sustainability,
and seven new exercises. The ESD Toolkit is an easy-to-use manual for beginning
the process of combining education and sustainability. The ESD Toolkit now has
eight major components: (1) An introduction to sustainability. (2) A description
of the major thrusts and components of education for sustainable development and
a process to begin reorienting formal education to address sustainability. (3) A
discussion of 12 major issues that have slowed the progress of ESD. (4) A case
study of the Toronto Board of Education\'s community consultation and subsequent
curriculum revision that indirectly addressed ESD as a result of the citizens\'
vision and desires. (5) A description of management techniques for initiating
change in schools. (6) A brief description of public participation methods for
including the citizenry in community decisions regarding sustainability and ESD.
(7) Exercises to help schools and communities to understand sustainability,
create sustainability goals, reorient the curriculum to address sustainability,
and initiate change within an educational system. (8) Links to other Web sites
on sustainability, education for sustainability, historic United Nations
Documents, and communities that have developed sustainability plans The ESD
Toolkit will help schools and communities develop a process to create locally
relevant and culturally appropriate education. The Toolkit is based on the idea
that communities and educational systems need to dovetail their sustainability
efforts. Ideally, local educational systems can reorient existing curriculums to
reinforce local sustainability goals. I sincerely hope Version 2 the ESD Toolkit
helps educators, schools, institutions, or communities, take the first steps
toward creating education for sustainable development programs. I would
appreciate it if you would pass this announcement on to your friends and
colleagues who are interested in sustainability. Sincerely, Rosalyn McKeown
