A Stoke-on-Trent education specialist has launched a unique training course which will help UK schools respond to the climate change emergency.
Designed for school leaders, the carbon literacy modules are being offered by Satori Education, based at Festival Park.
The aim is to facilitate Net Zero action planning for educators and provide them with official certification as being carbon literate.
It will also enable them to acquire deeper knowledge to educate pupils on effectively tackling the crisis by reducing carbon footprint.
Satori’s climate emergency training course is suitable for senior school and Multi Academy Trust leaders, sustainability leaders, finance, business and operations managers.
The initiative is delivered in partnership with Community Interest Company enFrame.
It’s the only training course aimed specifically at school leaders to be accredited by the Carbon Literacy Trust and it is fully aligned with the Department for Education’s Sustainability and Climate Change Strategy.
Joe Basketts, Chief Executive Officer of Satori Education, said: “We’re incredibly proud that our specialist education team has created this pioneering course specifically for education leaders and we’re very excited to be rolling it out across the UK.”
A Carbon Literacy Trust spokesman said: “This course is fantastic, very detailed and well thought out. It includes all the relevant information for the sector, focusing on how educational leaders can educate students on the climate emergency.
“I think this course will be very beneficial to both learners and the influence they will have on the people around them once they have completed the training.”
