Sustainability: Making a Start
In this Teachers TV video, designer Kursty Groves visits Haydon School to help the design and technology department introduce sustainable issues into its projects. Kursty believes that most design and technology teachers are aware that environmental issues have never been more important and sustainable development is now a requirement of the national curriculum, but many teachers are not sure how to deal with these issues within their lessons.
Caroline Penny, Head of Design and Technology, is keen for her department to incorporate sustainable development in their planning, but is not sure where to start. The department has recently re-written their Key Stage Three scheme of work in light of changes to the National Curriculum and is reluctant to do this again. Kursty observes three lessons to see if she can offer some simple suggestions to address the issues surrounding sustainability without increasing the teachers’ workload.
