Title: | Sustainability as the norm in early childhood settings | Contributor(s): | Elliott, Sue (author) | Publication Date: | 2014 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/16934 | Abstract: | This article was written in the midst of extreme weather events and bushfires that are again reminding Australians that climate change is real; neither politicians, nor early childhood educators can ignore the imperative of sustainability. As I and others have advocated (Davis, 2010), there is a unique opportunity in early childhood settings to culturally embed 'thinking, acting and relating' (Kemmis, 2009) for sustainability as integral to early childhood education. Children, educators and families must be active, empowered and collaborative participants in change towards more sustainable ways of being with the Earth. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Every Child, 20(1), p. 10-11 | Publisher: | Early Childhood Australia Inc | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 1322-0659 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 130313 Teacher Education and Professional Development of Educators 130102 Early Childhood Education (excl Maori) 130202 Curriculum and Pedagogy Theory and Development |
