Schools are in an ideal position to model sustainability practices that informand influence the broader community. A school can be the catalyst for the

social change that sustainable development calls for. Sustainability Learning

is likely to be far more effective and supportive when the school as a whole

adopts the Compass of Sustainability, develops its own vision for a

sustainable future, and assumes the responsibility for realizing that vision and

modeling education for a sustainable future. Within the classroom, using the

Compass becomes a habit of mind both for yourself and the students you

teach or work with, and as such is consciousness-raising and potentially

transforming.

This workshop will be hosted by Traidhos Three Generation Community for

Learning and Prem Tinsulanonda International School, where Compass

tools have been an asset in organizing, coordinating, articulating and guiding

vision, goals and actions amongst many departments. PTIS will provide us a

working model of Compass application, giving participants the chance to use

the Compass for interviewing key stakeholders, guiding and recording

observations, focusing discussion and providing a framework for whole school

sustainability assessment and planning.

What you can expect from this workshop? Fluency in Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) - The workshop will provide a firm

understanding of sustainability, sustainable development and the role, responsibilities and approach of

education in learning our way to sustainability.

Hands-on Understanding of the Compass School Concept & Methods - Clear explanation of

what a Compass School is, as well as opportunity to experiment with the tools and approaches to see

how it works as a whole school management tool or a classroom tool for integrated thinking.

Applying Systems Thinking to School Transformation Regardless of what type your school is,

there are three nested systems at play the classroom, the school and the community all of which

interact in ways that shape the priorities and needs of people at all levels. You will explore how to

implement systems theory and systems thinking approaches in such a way that invites learning and

change at all three levels.

Learning How to Accelerate Institutional Change The AMOEBA is a user-friendly tool that helps

people understand organizational and cultural change process, plan for the introduction of new ideas

into organizational systems, or block undesirable changes.

Experience Sustainability Culture of Traidhos and PTIS This integrative program will provide

participants with opportunity to use and experience the Compass School tools in the context of an

existing Compass School, lending greater understanding and linkages to apply the tools within their

own organizations.

As a former primary teacher, the idea of connecting areas of knowledge was attractive

and the visual links that the compass tool made possible exciting. Now as President at

Traidhos Three Generation Community for Learning, Lynda is part of a group looking

at ways to create a more sustainable campus and work force, while experimenting

with different ways of using Compass in the environmental education setting.
