4 Summary of Unit 6

Sustainability requires changes in the way we think and conceptualise ourselves as part of nature, rather than having dominance over it. In education terms it is important that this ethos begins early and, as educators, our challenge is to introduce important relational thinking to learners in creative, exploratory and playful ways as part of a transformative learning landscape to support sustainable transitions.

In this unit you have looked at what it means to develop eco-literacy and why doing so is so important. You looked back to how the concepts around sustainability have been developed and thought about your own understanding of sustainability, then considered where the points of leverage are within a system that could allow the system to become more attuned to sustainability. You finished the unit by designing learning that would allow the learners you teach to develop their eco-literacy.
