Review: 50 Ways to be a Greener Teacher

This resource is an ideas bank for ‘greening your teaching’. It includes ideas to help you bring the topic of climate change and sustainability into ELT classes, and for localizing such issues. It also includes activities for greening institutions, not just classrooms – embedding a green culture in schools.

The author, Christopher Graham, is one of the founders of ELT footprint, and is an experienced consultant who has worked on green-related projects for institutions such as the British Council. The resource is published by Wayzgoose Press, who have really nailed the formula for these ‘quick dip-in’ ideas bank booky thingies. You can spot a Wayzgoose cover a mile off these days too!

The overall approach

From my initial skim read of the contents, I thought the organization of the book was exactly what I wanted to see from a resource like this.
