On the Untouched World Tiromoana project On the Kepler track

"All over the place, from the popular culture to the propaganda system, there is constant pressure to make people feel that they are helpless, that the only role they can have is to ratify decisions and to consume."  Noam Chomsky

What does Sustain-Ed do?

Sustain-Ed is a private educational consultancy created specifically to support the kaupapa of education for sustainability. I established this Christchurch based business in 2008 after 25 years of teaching experience in New Zealand and UK schools.

Sustain-Ed offers a variety of services aimed primarily at the secondary education sector. These include:

  • Peer review of papers and educational texts

  • Development of experiential learning programmes

  • Achievement Standard assessment task writing

  • Presentations & workshops on learning, sustainability and the social sciences

  • Development of sustainability initiatives with students in schools

  • Online professional dialogue

During the early 2000s, I was closely involved with the development of the NZ Curriculum 2007, Education for Sustainability Achievement Standards and EfS programmes in schools. When developing resources and programmes I actively seek new information, drawing on local and international research.
