Element 3.1 Formal curriculum (core and non- core)

• If education for sustainable development (ESD) is statutory, curriculum requirements are addressed.
• A progression describes age-appropriate Learning for Sustainability that explores key concepts, theories, skills, values and attitudes.

The formal curriculum is the plan the school has for implementing the national curriculum requirements. Effort must be made to secure the position of Learning for Sustainability within the curriculum because it is a cross-cutting theme. Like the larger curriculum, Learning for Sustainability requires a progression (scope and sequence) that ensures that key concepts, theories, skills, values and attitudes are introduced and reinforced at developmental levels appropriate to pupils.
