Sustainable Teacher

Every year Learning for Tomorrow organizes the Sustainable Teacher Election. We then put the sustainable doers in the spotlight! With their stories, in which they share best practices and their own experiences, they inspire other teachers and school leaders.

Sustainable Teacher Election 2025

In 2025 we are again looking for the most sustainable teachers in the Netherlands! All levels of education are participating: primary, secondary and higher education. On March 26, 2025, in Pakhuis de Zwijger, we will put these teachers in the spotlight and announce the winners. Check out the entire program here! 

Purpose of the project.

A sustainable society requires sustainable education. To prepare young generations for complex challenges, they need sustainable tools from teachers. Many teachers work at school every day to impart the knowledge and skills needed to make the Netherlands more sustainable. Who are these sustainable doers in education?

Approach Sustainable Teacher Election

You are a sustainable teacher in many different ways. Perhaps you have taken the initiative to green the schoolyard? Do you work only with circular materials? Or do you ensure more inclusiveness in your school? As a sustainable teacher you prepare the young generation for a sustainable society. In this we not only look at issues such as environment and climate but also highlight the social side of sustainability such as inclusion and equality.

The jury chooses a winner each year from po, vo, mbo and ho. Involves students, fulfills inspirational role, collaborates and has an integral view of sustainability. An example of the jury criteria a Sustainable Teacher meets. View here the full criteria.

This project is a collaboration with NADO, Teachers for Climate, Sustainable PABO, SME and the Green Brain.
