Summary:

"Sustainability Teaching for Impact is an essential step-by-step, practical guide for those wanting to inspire and engage higher education students in the areas of sustainability. The book encourages new and experienced university teachers across disciplines to adopt and adapt dramatic methods, with a view to inspire and engage their students. It introduces applied drama and performance arts methods that have been tried-and-tested across disciplines to deepen and broaden sustainability knowledge, skills, mindsets and practices. Sustainability Teaching for Impact assumes no previous experience of the methods, as university teachers - with and without experience in drama - carefully walk you through some of the teaching practices they have used to create an impact in their teaching. The book is for higher and further education tutors who wish to build on their experience, and deliver exciting and accessible classroom techniques and practices that are highly interactive, creative, and engaging to help further the teaching of sustainability"-- Provided by publisher.
