Comprehensive Session Evaluation: A Multi-Dimensional Framework

To effectively evaluate a session, especially one focused on sustainability literacy, a multi-faceted approach is crucial. Utilize the "Four Rs of Effective Evaluation" (Relevant, Reliable, Recognizable, Realistic) to ensure the evaluation process itself is sound. For participant reflection, employ the "4Rs Reflection Model" (Reporting, Responding, Relating, Reasoning) to encourage deeper learning and connection to existing knowledge. Additionally, ask key questions like "What worked well?" and "What could be improved?" to gather direct feedback. To assess sustainability literacy development, tailor questions to the "eight dimensions" (futures, values, systems, strategic thinking), evaluating participants' ability to apply these concepts. This comprehensive approach ensures thorough assessment and continuous improvement.

 I think that within an early years setting there would need to be a really powerful debate or introduction to what we mean by compassionate pedagogies. It is probably not an area that is talked about a great deal within CPD but since it appears to be very relevant to the age group and  concerns about what the world might be like for their future I think it is something that needs to be taken seriously. 
So maybe we could start with a mapping activity looking at what we do and how that links with both sustainable pedagogies and compassionate pedagogies. The first step is to recognise what they are before being able to build upon them and document them in practice.
Working with other practitioners on this is crucial and the cards provide an important reminder of what we should be considering in our practice. It is important that we ensure a safe and sustainable future for the children in our care
