There’s no shortage of “100 sustainability hacks for your school” lists out there. What’s always been harder to find is anything about what happens after the launch assembly, once the noticeboard’s gone up, the eco-council’s been set, and everyone’s gone back to their normal week.
After the Launch is my attempt at filling that gap, and it’s now available to order.
Most climate action plans will have a brilliant first year espeically now when there is external support, some government money for said support and lots happening in the space in general. But, as we move into the second and third year, there is a danger of this support and enthusiasm dropping off. Especially as other school priorities take over. And just to be clear – it’s not because anyone stopped caring, but because plans built around one launch, one enthusiastic person, rarely survive a busy school year without some kind of structure behind them.
This workbook is that structure: an annual rhythm any school can actually run, with the templates built straight into the pages. Eleven chapters, covering everything from the September relaunch to keeping governors properly in the loop to what happens when the person who set it all up leaves.
It’s written for whoever currently holds the sustainability lead role, however that title varies between schools, and for the senior leaders and governors who need to back it up.
What’s inside:
- A self-audit for working out whether your plan is launched or actually sustained
- A term’s worth of ready-to-run staff meeting sessions
- Templates for governor reporting, succession planning, and curriculum mapping
- A five-year planner to pull it all together, year after year
Spiralbound copies are £10 and available to order now.
If you’ve got a climate action plan that had a great year one and a quieter year two, this one’s for you.
