“Sustainability asks us to look at the world differently … and to look at the mission or purpose of education differently.”
For those teachers and administrators who are both passionate and serious about meeting the challenges of sustainability, the AtKisson Group’s new Compass Schools program provides you with the tools, methods and ‘Community of Practice’ Network to make real transformational change in how your school learns, how it operates, and how it interacts with its broader community.
Schools are in an ideal position to model sustainability practices that inform and influence the broader community. From developing new future visions and measureable indicators, to creating new education initiatives using a systems approach, to facilitate self-sustaining change, a school can be the catalyst for the social change that sustainable development calls for.
The AtKisson Group’s ‘Becoming a Compass School’ workshop brings years of sustainability learning and practice into sharp focus, over a fast-paced 2-day period. During these two days, you will learn in depth and handson the Compass School Network concept and our ISIS Accelerator tools and methods for transforming education in all aspects and dimensions. You will also learn from your peers, since there is already a wealth of knowledge and sustainability education practice happening in many corners of international education.
Finally, you will have the opportunity to deepen your self-knowledge and motivation as an agent of change for what you care most about, equipping young people with the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes to contribute to a sustainable world.
The ‘Becoming a Compass School’ Workshop will help you move quickly from where you are now toward where you want to be.
Our trainers / facilitators will guide you through theory, reflection and practice. You will go home refreshed with new ideas, inspired, and equipped with tools and insights that will allow you to make change happen.
