Project progress

Year 1

We conducted an extensive review of literature on sustainability. From this review we have developed: an overview of sustainability factors to consider; an annotated bibliography; and a list of measurement tools for sustainability. These documents can be found on our resources page.

We have compiled results from our SITE survey and submitted our findings to our partner schools. We are currently working on publishing our research findings.

Year 2

Based upon the literature reviews and interviews in Year 1, we have created a Site-Improvement Self Assessment tool to support schools and other educational organisation to review a range of components related to sustainable implementation of educational initiatives.

If you are interested in using this tool to support an initiative at your site, please contact the project leader, Associate Professor Helen Askell-Williams – helen.askell-williams@flinders.edu.au

Year 3

We are rolling out SITE: Sustaining Innovations Through Education to schools and educational organisations. We have compiled results from our SITE survey and submitted our findings to our partner schools.

Years 4+

We are continuing to roll-out our survey (SITE: Sustaining Innovations Through Education) to schools and educational organisations, with the aim of supporting and evaluating sustainable school-improvement initiatives. We are writing and submitting articles for publication based upon the data collected in this study.
