The Educator’s Role in Environmental Advocacy
As educators, we have a unique opportunity to inspire and educate others about the importance of environmentally friendly behavior. By incorporating sustainability into my curriculum, organizing eco-friendly initiatives, and leading by example, I can encourage my students and colleagues to adopt greener habits. Although it may require sacrificing some comforts, the satisfaction of making a positive impact on our planet far outweighs any temporary discomfort.
Exploring the STEAM Educator Competence Framework
STEAM education, the integrative approach combining Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics, is transforming the educational landscape. Central to this shift is a competence framework for STEAM educators developed through the EU-funded STEAMonEdu project. This framework outlines the essential skills and knowledge educators need to implement STEAM education effectively, catering to diverse educational levels from early childhood to adult learning.
