Welcome to our Falkirk Learning for Sustainability blog. It is designed to complement national LfS guidance and resources which you can find here. All Falkirk LfS professional learning is listed with the prefix LfS in Falkirk CPD Manager and other professional learning opportunities are shared via our Falkirk LfS framework Team.

Our Falkirk Learning for Sustainability framework is a key curriculum policy in Falkirk and has its own page (see link top of page). That page contains everything you need to know about our framework and how to use it. All of our LfS actions relate to the national Target 2030 action plan. Please browse our examples of LfS teaching and learning in practice from the extracts below. If you have Learning for Sustainability practice which you feel others would find valuable please contact Yvonne McBlain.
