Claire Gilbert has over 25 years’ experience in the education publishing industry and has held senior management roles at several successful edtechs. Claire is certified Carbon Literate and has applied her knowledge of climate science and educational content delivery to our Carbon Literacy for Educational Content Development course.
What inspired you to design this course?
I’m not a climate scientist. Like you, I work in the education industry and want to reduce the carbon footprint of my organisation. I have worked in educational publishing for 25 years, and in 2022, I completed Carbon Literacy training and made two pledges which I will share on day two of the course.
At the end of this course, you will make your own climate pledges, become Carbon Literate certified, and be able to write your own course and train others. You will be able to take what you’ve learned back to your companies to start making change straight away.
Why is it important for our industry?
This course covers Carbon Literacy from an educational content perspective, with an emphasis on digital publishing. So, why is it important for our industry?
- The DfE has a vision for the UK to be the world-leading education sector in climate change by 2030.
- Building knowledge in our sector presents a significant opportunity for change – 1 in 6 people in the UK go into a school every school day.
- We can improve the future – the Children’s Commissioner found that “1 in 5 children chose ‘a healthy environment and planet’ as one of their top priorities for having a good life when they grow up”.
Why should busy publishing professionals join this course?
If you are involved in creating educational content and want to deepen your understanding of the climate crisis and apply this to your work, join me on this course to discover how you can reduce the carbon footprint of creating educational content.
“It might be uncomfortable and scary at times, but my goal for this course is for you to feel empowered and enthused to make change.”
