We’re recruiting a research associate for a Welsh Government grant identifying climate change education curricula in alternative education settings
We have received funding through a SMART partnership from Welsh Government to look at climate change education in Additional Learning Needs settings in Wales.
You will work with Swansea University and the Eco-schools programme through Keep Wales Tidy to identify and document best practice climate change education initiatives within special schools and pupil referral units across Wales.
You will visit special schools and PRUs across South Wales to meet with teachers and learners to gather information to meet the project objectives, which are:
• The identification and collation of existing exemplary practice of environmental and CCSE in ALN Settings and alternative provision settings across Wales, using the Keep Wales Tidy network and links to appropriate educational settings.
• Supporting the dissemination of these examples of exemplary practice across educational settings throughout Wales, through the Keep Wales Tidy network.
• The completion of a mapping and gapping exercise, to identify the gaps in current knowledge and availability of appropriate resources to support environmental and CCSE in ALN Settings and alternative provision settings and across the spectrum of additional learning needs.
• To liaise with key stakeholders within the ALN Settings and alternative provision sector to ensure that the educational resources created can be informed, developed and refined by educational practice.
This position will provide you with the opportunity to conduct academic research and build knowledge and expertise in two key areas –
i) enhanced knowledge of climate change and sustainability education and ii) enhanced knowledge of working with learners with a range of additional learning needs.
This offers you the potential to develop as the first practitioner in Wales with specialist knowledge of both climate change and CCSE and supporting, designing and delivering resources for learners with additional learning needs.
