Leadership and Sustainability

This comes from Teacher-net's sustainable school section but I think it makes a really valuable point about leadership and sustainability.  

"Placing sustainability at the heart of school culture is a challenging but rewarding task, a task being taken on by forward-looking school leaders across the country

Ultimately, your leadership is a culture of change that will be judged 

as effective or ineffective not by who you are as a leader, 

but by what leadership you practice in others

Topic for Discussion: 

Five questions for school teachers:

1. How can your school embed in the care agenda - care for ourselves, care for others, and care for the environment - as a distinctive commitment?
2. How can your school involve all the school's stakeholders in decision-making about sustainable development - balancing short-term interests with longer-term goals while considering the needs of the environment, future generations, and other communities?
3.  How can your school develop individuals with the knowledge, values, skills, and self-confidence they need to make positive contributions to their family, their community, their job, the environment, and the wider world?
4. How can your school's curriculum best address sustainable development while contributing to each student's enjoyment of learning, and their need to keep learning sustainable behaviors over their lifetime?
5. What style of leadership and management does the school need to promote lasting school improvement through a joined-up approach that integrates best value, best practice, and sustainability?
