UoR Climate Education and Sustainability ITE Framework

Climate change is one of the biggest issues facing the planet. To tackle this threat, we must work together. We must help each other understand what’s happening. Only then, will we find solutions. The University of Reading’s Climate Education Summit provided a space to start thinking about how climate education could be delivered at scale. The National Action Plan provides a clear structure to support this delivery. This framework delivers on action point 2 of our National Climate Education Action Plan. Trainee Teachers across all ITT programmes at the University of Reading will be supported in developing their knowledge and understanding of the climate crisis. They will graduate with a core set of skills to support young people to build resilience and become future change makers in the climate and sustainability landscape. This framework is initially being piloted by the University of Reading and select providers, after which the intention is that it be shared widely to support other training providers to deliver on this important work
