Sustaining sustainability education in schools (#journal)
A study of two schools in northern Australia demonstrated the impact on
Education for Sustainability (EfS) initiatives of a disruptive policy
environment set in motion by neoliberal reforms focused on standards,
accountability, and international competitiveness. In one of the
schools, a culture characterized by trust and an emphasis on cultivating
teacher and student strengths and interests contributed to the
resilience of these initiatives in the face of outside pressures. In the
other, administrators preoccupied with the need to implement state
mandates with fidelity failed to nurture and develop a collection of
remarkable EfS projects and activities.
