Learning and Teaching
BeCause: we are training active global citizens to make a difference
Learning and TeachingOur institutional Learning and Teaching Strategy states that all taught programmes should give students the opportunities to develop the Sheffield Graduate attributes, 'making them well equipped to make a difference in a complex world' (p.2) Learning and Teaching Strategy Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) approaches are integral to acquiring these attributes; in particular those relating to active global citizenship and cultural agility, but also those relating to reflective, critical, collaborative, creative and enterprising approaches (p.7-8). We support and fund academic projects across all parts of the University, to develop content and approaches relevant to ESD. Through our priority focus on internationalisation of learning and teaching, taught curricula should cover issues of global environmental, economic and social sustainability wherever appropriate. |
