- Reorienting education for a sustainable future: Providing tools and methods that promote systems thinking and help develop indicators of progress-
Put Simply, Sustainability is . . . A set of conditions and trends in a given system that can continue indefinitely.
Defini/ons
“Sustainability”
Too much
Not enough
Graphically, Sustainability can be understood like this . . .
Sustainable Development is … � . . . a managed process of �continuous innovation and systemic change to maintain a sustainable whole-system condition into the long-term future.�
4 Basic System Conditions for Sustainability
q Human Wellbeing: Making individual opportunity, fulfillment, and happiness possible.�
q Nature: Living within the Earth’s physical and biological limits; �
q Economy; Maintaining a vital, prosperous economy; �
q Society: Supporting social stability, equity, and development; �
A Compass School is . . .. q . . . is a school which actively incorporates the Sustainability
Compass into any or all aspects of school life in order to assist with reorienting education to incorporate the mindset and values of sustainable development in teaching and learning.
Sustainability as Transformative Education q Education “about” Sustainability
Accommodating… is an awareness lesson or theoretical discussion (emphasis on content, information, knowledge… easily integrated into curricula and existing paradigms … may not change values and behaviours).
q Education “for” Sustainability Adaptive – Learning for change … is the use of education as a tool to achieve sustainability (includes knowledge, values and skills … reorientation of curricula but within existing paradigms... values contradictions between theory and practice)
q Education “as” Sustainability Transformative – Learning AS Change … Emphasis on process, quality learning, development of the whole person, involvement of the whole school community, and transformative learning experiences. Schools provide the role model for sustainable practices through values & behaviour, holistic learning experiences, and participative, collaborative, shared leadership / decision-making.

Actions at Portals should link to Compass Issues & Indicators
Assist schools to do all of the following…
Ø Create better understanding of sustainability for a
group, team, or in the classroom as a supplementary tool for big picture, integrative thinking.
Ø Create a sustainability vision Ø Manage stakeholders in a sustainability process Ø Create or manage a set of sustainability indicators Ø Create an Overall Sustainability Index Ø Assess the sustainability profile of a company

The Compass School Approach
n A Compass School puts the four dimensions and five portals into practice by involving the whole school community – students, teachers and other staff, members of the local community, parents, local authorities, local media and businesses.
n It encourages teamwork and helps to create a shared understanding of what it takes to manage and run a school in a way that contributes to sustainable development at every level – global, local, and personal.
Case Study – PTIS International School – Chiang Mai, Thailand
n Curriculum planning. Teachers have used the Compass to guide lesson plans for reading, writing, math, science, history and other subjects. Teachers have found it gives them the opportunity to be more creative with their lessons by thinking “outside the box.”
n Strategic planning. Teachers, faculty, parents and student representatives used the compass to look at sustainability within their whole school community. The initial process took the form of a whole-day school workshop and provided practical discussion around sustainability in their school context. One positive result of the planning was that energy use was cut which ended up saving the school money.
n School lunch. The 4th year students used the Compass as a lens to look at the school lunch menu. As a result, the menu is more healthy and the school now buys more fruits and vegetables from the local community, which has reduced school cafeteria costs.
“The Compass is simple. I can go in depth into discussions with students and it’s really easy to manage.” - 5th Grade teacher
Case Study – The Prem Tridhos International School – Chiang Mai, Thailand
n Science fair. Students used the Compass in small groups to design projects for the school science fair.
n Community projects. Secondary school students used the Compass to develop the “Adopt a Dog” project to help a population of stray dogs at a local temple. Prior to the project, the dogs were running loose in the community, howling and barking, and posing health problems – the situation affected the happiness of the community local businesses. The students used the Compass to design and carry out the project through community donations and a partnership with a local ngo. The dogs they have helped are now healthy, well fed and many neutered.
In Conclusion . . . . q A Compass School is simply a school that takes its
role and responsibility for helping to build a sustainable global human society very seriously.
q A Compass School actively integrates and infuses sustainability education into all aspects of the school, including its vision and mission (education), decision-making, its management and operations, the school buildings, the school culture and its external relationships with its surrounding community and others, by using the Compass tool/ lens to do so.
q A Compass School takes a Whole School Approach to Sustainability Education

Graphic Interpretation of the Previous Slide
The ISIS Method is Generic and Archetypal:
n Generic: Work with indicators, systems thinking, innova/on and strategy cannot be copyrighted or patented
n Archetypal: The ISIS sequence builds on how cogni/on processes naturally grapple with complex systemic issues
From the ISIS Method Handbook:
”The ISIS Method, in application, expands or shrinks to meet the scale of need to which it is being applied. This framework and worksheets will support practitioners in doing the thinking and task-planning necessary at nearly every step of the process. But they do not impose an overly strict set of categories or linear sequence. Practitioners are expected to determine for themselves what the most appropriate timing, level of complexity, etc. should be for a particular initiative or project. ”

Why this issue important for Phuket’s Sustainability?
Tourism is one of two mainstays of the Phuket economy, and almost all tourists come to Phuket for its famous white sand beaches and clean, aqua blue marine waters. These natural treasures are directly influenced by coastal development planning, pollution, construction, zoning law enforcement, business licensing, density of vendors, and litter management, to name but a few. If Phuket’s beaches are consumed by litter, extensions of restaurants and bungalows, lounge chairs and umbrellas, vendors and jet skis, the accumulative effect will soon overwhelm nature’s resilience mechanisms. It will not be too long before Phuket will lose the very attributes that its success has been built upon. Not to say that tourism will stop, but most likely the outdoor activity and nature related tourism will be replaced by another type of tourism that we all do not want.
What is the Trend?
The Phuket Marine Biological Center has implemented a coastal environment monitoring program for 23 stations along the coastline of Phuket. Some principal parameters collected for every 2 months include salinity, temperature, pH, dissolve oxygen, suspended sediment, nutrients and total coliform bacteria. The result found that Marine water quality was generally found in good condition, except in some stations and during certain period of time that the quality was in fair or poor conditions.
Possible Sources of Data
Department of Marine and Coastal Resources: Phuket Marine Biological Center, Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment: Pollution Control Department
Nature�Aspect�1� Coastal�Management�/�Sustainable�Beach�Program��
The Challenge: Phuket’s coastal marine environment, particularly its famous beaches and water quality are in a state of degradation and decline.
Our Goal:
Phuket’s coastal environment enjoys continuous excellent water quality, with clean beaches that exhibit a natural condition to a large extent.
Proposed Strategy:
Empower and enable community volunteer groups to take ownership and responsibility for beach conditions and water quality monitoring, and education for fishing fleet on waste proper management.
Sustainability Indicators:
� Marine Water Quality Index (BOD, PH, Fecal Coliform)
� Beach Quality Index (5 star system)
