Why should schools integrate the AtKisson compass of sustainability?

If you’re not familiar with the work of AtKisson, it’s likely that you won’t have heard of their sustainability compass.An integral part of their accelerator tool assortment, many eco schools and climate-caring professors are immersing the AtKisson compass into school curricula. This is where the school supplies an eco-friendly learning environment to inspire future green leaders, ensuring that their resources are recyclable and not doing too much damage to the natural ecosystem, all while keeping an eye on the current state of the global climate. East of the compass is an emphasis on the economy.This is where schools start to think about how their students will get involved with future industry innovations. How they can prepare them for inclusive job growth and a world where eco-energy resources are shared among all citizens? How does the school syllabus prepare students for the ‘real world’? South of the compass is a statement of society.This enables schools to think about the societal issues far beyond the playground and initiate an awareness of current cultures, global concerns and government policies. Instead of shielding young students from the outside world, schools that embed this compass expose learners to the realities we face and encourage them to discuss effective solutions.
