A impressive launch of the Scotland's National Framework for Learning for Sustainability in ITE by @rushtondr.bsky.social & collaborators.
Delighted to see the #SDGs included; we know there are challenges but they provide a great context for trainee teachers.

Great to be able to share this #LfSInITE National Framework as a starting point for future thinking and collaborative action.
Lots to reflect upon and work to do but important to acknowledge the hard work, co-creation and partnership working that got us to this point. Many thanks to all involved. 👏
So pleased to be able to share this National Framework for #LfSInITE today & continue the conversations, learning & actions together. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💚
Much to do, learn & reflect on but also important to celebrate moments when communities come together to create, encourage & act.🎈🙌🌍 www.scde.ac.uk/_files/ugd/4...
