It is thought that whole school approaches to environmental education, where sustainability principles and processes are embedded into curriculum, grounds and resource management are a way of enacting cultural change towards more sustainable societies. Despite official encouragement in Australia, only some schools are reported to have adopted a whole school approach. This paper reports on the plans adopted by teachers in one school, providing an overview of the thinking and processes they put into practice over a period of four years, to implement coordinated whole school environmental education. (original abstract)

Uważa się, że podejście całościowe do edukacji ekologicznej, gdzie zasady i procesy zrównoważonego rozwoju są włączane w program nauczania, kształtowanie krajobrazu i zarządzanie zasobami stanowią pewną metodę uruchamiania zmian kulturowych w kierunku bardziej zrównoważonych społeczeństw. Pomimo oficjalnych zachęt w Australii jedynie niektóre szkoły zaadoptowały podejście całościowe. Poniższy artykuł przedstawia plany przyjęte przez nauczycieli pewnej szkoły oraz zawiera przegląd przemyśleń i działań, które uruchomili w praktyce w okresie czterech lat, aby wdrożyć skoordynowane całościowe podejście do edukacji ekologicznej.
