Leadership for Sustainability: Saving the planet one school at a time
01 Feb 2023, 17:00 – 18:15
This webinar will see David Dixon present and discuss his new book 'Leadership for Sustainability: Saving the planet one school', which draws on both his doctoral research and his 20 years of experience as a head teacher to set out how school leaders can embed eco-friendly practices in the day-to-day running of their schools that will also contribute to overall school improvement, including that recognised by inspectors.
After David's presentation, UCL specialist academics will provide a response and critique, and hold an audience Q&A.
This event will be particularly useful for for school leaders, teachers and teacher trainers, and for any professionals working on environmental education or improvement projects, such as researchers, policy makers, school/academy leaders and governors.
