Science and the Sustainable Schools Initiative: opportunity and imperative
Issue 338 | Page 59 | Published Sep 2010
Description
This article explores the development of the UK Government's Sustainable Schools Initiative and examines the contribution that science teaching can make to this. Drawing on recent research in schools and on development work in initial teacher education, the article argues that, in the absence of policy that enables schools to bring subject areas together, schools will have to take responsibility for this themselves.
