HEA Education for Sustainable Development Self-Evaluation Tool

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD)HEA & National Forum Publications

Description

The HEA ESD Self-Evaluation Tool is a voluntary, developmental resource that supports higher education institutions in reviewing and strengthening whole-of-institution Education for Sustainable Development. It helps institutions undertake structured reflection on current strengths, gaps and progression, identify local priorities and plan practical next steps.
The tool is organised around the five ESD to 2030 Priority Action Areas. For each area, it provides developmental descriptors across three broad stages of practice: Emerging, Established and Leading. It is intended to support dialogue, planning and quality enhancement.

Benefit of this resource and how to make the best use of it

Use the tool as part of a cross-functional institutional review led by an ESD or sustainability education lead, a teaching and learning unit working with sustainability colleagues, or a quality enhancement team. A senior sponsor should support the process and help connect the findings with institutional planning and resourcing.
