Administrators and school leaders
Schools have a social responsibility to contribute to the transition to a sustainable world. Administrators and school leaders have a crucial role in forming their own vision of -and facilitating and supporting education professionals and students in the transition to sustainable education.
Learning for Tomorrow wants to support and facilitate administrators and school leaders in their shared learning needs and offer concrete tools. On this page you will find tools to help and guide administrators and school leaders to answer all the questions that come their way when it comes to circular and sustainable education and to form a strategy with concrete approaches to become a sustainable school as a school.
In addition, in addition to the networks we have by educational strata and for teachers, there is also a network specifically for administrators and school leaders. If you register you will receive regular updates (3-6x a year) with inspiration and new developments and digital invitations. You are also welcome to join the activities and meetings that Leren voor Morgen organizes for school leaders and/or administrators and through the network you will easily get in touch with like-minded colleagues so you can question and inspire each other.
