Abstract: This engaging guide will empower primary school teachers to incorporate climate change and sustainability into their curriculum, enabling them to feel confident and competent in navigating this pressing global issue, without adding to teacher workload. Many teachers recognise the urgency of climate change and the need for pupils to engage with it but are unsure about how this should be approached in practice. Through a multi-disciplinary approach, this book provides the tools for teachers to educate and motivate their pupils to become active contributors to their school communities and beyond. It outlines how trainees, teachers and school leaders can embed climate change and sustainability into their practice, across the primary curriculum, providing the required knowledge, understanding and ideas for practice. This guide: (1) explores the fundamentals of climate change; (2) debunks misconceptions; (3) addresses climate anxiety; and (4) explains how to introduce sustainability from the early years upwards and through a range of subject areas. Packed with research-informed case studies and reflective questions, teachers can equip young minds to tackle the challenges of our fragile world and become proactive agents of change.
