Continuing Professional Development: Embedding Climate Education in the Curriculum

Loughborough University and College Union (UCU) branch has organised an online Continuning Professional Development (CPD) workshop, open to all Loughborough University staff, doctoral researchers and post-graduate students.

The Embedding Climate Education in the Curriculum CPD workshop will take place online on Tuesday 21st April from 2pm–3:30pm. In addition to helping you to improve your teaching practice, this CPD workshop can be referenced as evidence of pedagogical development in PDR/GLOW conversations and for academic promotion applications. Please come along and invite your colleagues to join us.

This interactive workshop will look at detailed examples of how UCU members are incorporating climate education in their classroom practice in a way which we hope you will find exciting and empowering.

The full aims of the interactive workshop are:

• to understand why sustainability issues are so important to students and staff
• to explore how sustainability issues have been incorporated into a range of learning programmes
• to reflect on how to amend your own practice
• to consider how you could use your experience to support other staff members around sustainability issues.

The taught sessions will last for about 60 minutes, after which time it may be possible to take 15-20 minutes to discuss the issues raised with a UCU official, depending on availability. In that case the total time commitment will be less than an hour and a half.

Upon signing up you should receive an email including an outlook calendar invite and a link to join the session within 3 working days. If you have not received this within a week of signing up, please contact ucu@lboro.ac.uk.
