About Resources
A host of practical, curriculum-aligned tools designed to make sustainability education easier, more engaging, and impactful in (and outside!) classrooms and schools.
Resource Library
This collection of learning and teaching material will assist you in effectively integrating education for sustainable development into your classroom.
The resources provided have a project-based approach, containing activities and lessons that are cross-curricula and aligned with the South African CAPS curriculum. The library is continuously expanding – should you wish to share your ideas and resources with the Sustainable Schools Programme, please contact us.
To ease navigation and integration of the material into your teaching schedule, refer to the Focus Area, Grade, and Subject. From there, the material is further subdivided into:
Guidebooks
Designed to support you and your learners on an experiential journey of discovery, the guidebooks facilitate understanding of each of the 8 Sustainable Schools Focus Areas, while providing practical ways to implement key topics and concepts with action project ideas, and links to relevant partner organisations and resources.
Audits
Tools to assist you in investigating, measuring, analysing and evaluating your school environment. Information from completed Audits will help establish a baseline of current sustainability practices in your school, assist you in selecting the most appropriate Focus Area(s) for your school, and provide the background knowledge to plan and implement impactful activities and projects.
Lesson Plans and Activities
Curriculum-aligned lessons and activities that incorporate 21st century skills and project-based learning. Practical and fun, these resources are designed to assist you in incorporating Education for Sustainable Development topics into your current teaching practices. All are aligned to the South-African curriculum (CAPS) and our Programme Focus Areas.
Assessments
A comprehensive set of South African curriculum (CAPS)-aligned assessments which slot seamlessly into your ongoing assessment processes, and support our collection of lesson plans. Use these assessments to measure your learner’s understanding of important sustainability topics.
