The FEthink Tutorial Programme
Following our ground-breaking report Cultivating the Green Curriculum: Strategies for Teaching Sustainability, FEthink has developed a new project-based learning approach to teaching sustainability in the FE and skills sector (though we think these ideas are also relevant to schools and universities - you be the judge!)
We have created a 7-step tutorial programme that synthesises our research and builds on FEthink's 30 years of teaching and improving quality in further education and training. This programme is planned to work across three terms and is designed to fit into the one hour per week normally reserved for tutorials. Its aim is to and move learners from awareness to action to evaluation.
In Term 1: learners explore what sustainability means for them, identify a college challenge, and design a realistic project.
In Term 2: learners review progress, troubleshoot problems, and check what is changing.
In Term 3: learners evaluate impact, share evidence, and decide what happens next.
The programme is intended to make sustainability practical, learner-led, and connected to real employability skills such as teamwork, communication, problem-solving and responsibility.
