Guideline for the Green Cool Schools material
This guideline shall contribute to the content of the website “Green Cool Schools” being integrated into the teaching practice of secondary school level 1. To do this, this guideline primarily addresses teachers, but also decision-makers in the education system or those who help shape education such as school authorities, multipliers or those within the framework of a wide variety of organisations.
The “Green Cool Schools” teaching and learning materials can only be successfully implemented in schools if they are linked to the existing curricula and take into account the actual school environment as well as the conditions in different countries. This guideline aims to support teachers by showing how the materials can be used and how they can be integrated into various school subjects within secondary school level 1 for each represented country (Austria, Germany, Spain). This also creates a basis for interdisciplinary teaching – and thus also for teachers from different subjects to work together at the same school.
Each country involved in the project has its own version of this guideline, which is aimed directly at teachers and other people active in the field of school education – and for this purpose also deals with national peculiarities in the education system. Since no English-speaking country was represented in the project, the present English version of the guideline does not have this national focus – it rather summarises the national documents and offers an overview for interested people from all over Europe.
