Find out what it means to be an Enviroschool and how the programme can be implemented into school life.
Step 2:
Talk to your staff and board of trustees.
Step 3:
Decide where your school wants to start.
The following is not a checklist and should not be seen as linear. Experience has shown that these are the main components of a successful process and that stages overlap, are revisited, modified and developed further as the school and community move forward.
- Exploring the Enviroschools programme
- Developing the curriculum
- Engaging students in experiencing their environment
- Forming an Envirogroup
- Creating a whole school vision map
- Implementing projects
- Developing policies, care codes and strategies
- Identifying and strengthening community partnerships
- Keeping the process going – documenting, reflecting and celebrating
Step 4:
Make a meeting with an Enviroschools Facilitator, receive a resource pack, discuss the Enviroschools support agreement and go for it!
