Local Authorities
Creating bespoke regional support documents for local authorities.
Who was involved?
Alison Jeffery from Somerset Council.
What happened?
We created a bespoke regional support document which combined the MEE framework with local examples of sustainability and shared this with teachers across the county.
What role did we play?
Initially, we shared a template with local businesses, organisations and council staff to co-create the document. We then took part in a number of online meetings to streamline and focus the document. We curated the suggestions and developed the final document which was shared with the nearly 4,000 teachers across Somerset along with their login details for ministryofeco.org.
What was the impact?
237 teachers across Somerset accessed the support document. These teachers went on to include more local examples of sustainability in their teaching.
What can teachers learn from this?
The local support documents are useful inspiration for teachers to develop local sustainability examples throughout their teaching. Co-creation alongside local authorities, charities and businesses is an effective tool to develop support for educators.
