Integrating Climate Education into a High-Quality English Curriculum | Secondary

This webinar will provide headteachers, governors, senior leaders, English leads, teachers and practitioners with practical guidance on integrating climate education into the secondary English curriculum, as part of a holistic approach to develop pupils’ knowledge and understanding of climate change, aligned with the government’s flagship strategy.

The DfE’s Sustainability and climate change: a strategy for the education and children’s services systems highlights the urgent need to give children and young people ‘the knowledge and skills to thrive in the green economy and to help restore nature’. By interweaving climate education throughout the curriculum, schools can provide pupils with a much deeper insight into the truth about environmental issues, and their role as agents of change.

In this webinar, Andy Tharby, award-winning author, subject leader and foremost expert in evidence-informed classroom practice, will explain how secondary schools can use English lessons to develop pupils’ climate literacy, using practical examples and activities to enhance teaching and learning.
