Teaching and learning are essential components of human development, and they have a crucial role to play in promoting sustainability. Sustainable teaching and learning refer to educational practices that prioritize the development of knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values that promote sustainability and contribute to achieving sustainable development goals. These practices can take various forms, from curriculum development to pedagogical innovation, assessment and evaluation, teacher education, and policy advocacy. Sustainable teaching and learning is an interdisciplinary field that draws on various disciplines, such as education, environmental studies, sociology, psychology, and economics. The field seeks to address the complex challenges of sustainability by providing learners with the knowledge, skills, and values needed to understand and address environmental, social, and economic issues. Sustainable teaching and learning aims to empower learners to become active and responsible citizens who can contribute to a sustainable future.
The implications of sustainable teaching and learning are vast and far-reaching. Sustainable teaching and learning can also prepare learners for the challenges and opportunities of a rapidly changing world, where sustainability is becoming an increasingly important issue.
Given the importance of sustainable teaching and learning, there is a need for innovative strategies that can help educators and learners promote sustainability in their daily lives and prepare for a sustainable future. These strategies can take various forms, from experiential learning to project-based learning, community-based learning to green technology, sustainable curriculum, and pedagogical innovation. To address this need, the call for book chapters on innovative strategies for sustainable teaching and learning invites submissions of original research that explores different approaches to sustainable teaching and learning, focusing on innovation and practicality.
