E ngā mana, e ngā reo, e nga karangatanga maha, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou katoa.
Greetings to all people, all voices, all nations, greetings to everyone.
Welcome to the Education for Sustainability (EfS) kete.
'Toitū te whenua, toitū te tangata, toitū te taiao’
‘Existing in harmony with our environment’
'A Sustainable World'
Sustainability is a critical issue for New Zealand – environmentally, economically, culturally, politically, and socially. We need to learn how to live smarter to reduce our impact on the environment so that our natural resources will be around for future generations.
This kete is designed to help teachers engage students in relevant learning about sustainability and encourage them to act sustainably and contribute to the well-being of New Zealand.
It does this by making connections between the learning areas, vision, principles, values and key competencies of the national curricula - The New Zealand Curriculum and Te Marautanga o Aotearoa.
Here to help - Hei āwhina
This kete will help you find resources to support the implementation of The New Zealand Curriculum and Te Marautanga o Aotearoa. You can join an email group and contribute to a discussion forum to share information about assessment and curriculum design matters.
New material will be added to the site regularly so keep coming back for fresh ideas and up-to-date information.
Visit the community news page for notices and recent additions to the kete. Send feedback and ideas to the Education for Sustainability community facilitator at efs@tki.org.nz.
