Dear teachers,
Welcome to our course 'GSS for teachers' centered around our impactful project 'Green Standard Schools'. This engaging initiative aims to:
- Integrate crucial environmental topics into the language learning curriculum of three languages (English, Spanish, and French)
- Enhance the language competence of foreign language learners
- Boost the teaching competences of language teachers
- Foster responsible and sustainable environmental behavior in both language learners and teachers
- Inspire language schools to develop comprehensive environmental policies
This course features a comprehensive Environmental Handbook for Language School Managers and Teachers, designed as training material to empower language teachers and managers with tools to minimize environmental impact in their operations and enhance their proficiency as language course providers.
Also, you can explore our Video Collection, accessible on our YouTube channel Green Standard Schools, where you'll discover a series of short videos featuring discussions on environmental issues. This curated collection serves as a readily available database of teaching materials, seamlessly integrable into your lessons.

In Chapter 6 'Creating an effective lesson plan', we will learn about the importance of lesson planning in language teaching. A well-structured lesson plan is a valuable tool for teachers, especially those who are new to the profession. It provides guidance and ensures relevant material is effectively covered in class. Even experienced teachers can benefit from lesson plans, as they serve as a reference point for themselves and others. We will also explore how to adapt a standard lesson plan to include environmental themes, which aligns with the broader context of integrating environmental education into language teaching. Also, we will provide you with template for Green Standard Schools lesson plan and its capacity to seamlessly integrate environmental themes, empowering language teachers to raise awareness and educate students about critical global issues while enhancing their language skills.

In this lesson, we will present our Green Standard Schools lesson plan template, which is designed to help teachers integrate environmental issues systematically into their lessons. This template includes sections for both the main language aims and the main environmental aims of the lesson. Teachers can use this structured approach to create lessons that align with the Green Standard Schools project's goals and contribute to a more sustainable future. Additionally, we'll provide you with the link to access our GSS platform, where teachers can use the lesson plan builder tool to create and share their lessons, contributing to a more environmentally sustainable future.
