Directors
Schools have a social responsibility to contribute to the transition to a sustainable world. Administrators have a crucial role in forming their own vision for -and facilitating and supporting education professionals and students in the transition to sustainable education. School administrators are at the helm to give sustainable development a place in the vision, long-term plans and strategic direction. They can have a driving role towards school leaders, to really embed sustainable development in the school.
Learning for Tomorrow wants to support and facilitate administrators in their shared learning needs and offer concrete tools. On this page you will find tools to help and guide school leaders in answering all the questions that come their way when it comes to circular and sustainable education and form a strategy with concrete approaches to become a sustainable school as a school.
In addition, in addition to the networks we build per educational layer and for teachers, also have 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 attend the activities and meetings that Leren voor Morgen organizes for school leaders and/or administrators and through the network you will easily come into contact with like-minded colleagues so you can question and inspire each other.
