Description

Drawing extensively on contemporary research and empirical evidence, including that from the UK, Europe, Australia and Brazil, this book sets out the key ideas, concepts and approaches for education for environmental sustainability in the context of teacher education. Conceptual ideas explored in the book include sustainability, nature and justice as well as empirically grounded approaches for teacher educators including participation, co-creation and outdoor education. This book provides a research-informed guide to enable teacher educators to further explore, reflect and implement education for environmental sustainability in their teaching and research so that teacher education is rooted in the endeavour to live justly on a finite planet.
