The Compass Education School Sustainability Self-Assessment evaluates the existence and progress in developing different school-focused systems required to practice and model sustainability successfully. It is organized around the four Points of the Sustainability Compass, a framework for holistic sustainability. By reflecting on your community's Nature, Economy, Society, and individual Well-being, this tool can help you recognize systemic structural gaps to fully integrate sustainability as a core value and practice in all aspects of your school community.<\/h6>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

A Sustainable School <\/span>practices and models sustainability in all aspects<\/b> of its mission, governance, operation, its engagement and relationship with the outside community, and of course, its curriculum, teaching and learning processes.<\/span><\/p>

A sustainable school employs a whole-school approach reflecting that the concern for global issues in the formal curriculum is reflected in a school\u2019s day-to-day practice. The entire school\u2019s culture reflects the school\u2019s (sustainability) mission and these values and attitudes are habituated in the daily actions of administrators, teachers, students, support staff, and the school itself.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

How can you use this tool?<\/h3>

The Compass school self-assessment is meant to be simple to use and relatively quick.\n\nThere are 20 Indicators equally divided between the four Compass Points: (N)ature, (E)conomy, (S)ociety and (W)ellbeing. Thus each Compass Point has 5 indicators to evaluate. You can do so based on your own perception or survey a team or convene a meeting to discuss. Although there is no single right way to use the assessment, we strongly encourage you to consider a diverse group of school community stakeholders as foundational for an accurate schoolwide assessment. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

This Scorecard<\/h3>

The Compass Education Self-Assessment is primarily concerned with your perception of the existence of sustainability systems in your school community. Your scorecard results can serve as a starting point for conversations about school sustainability actions or as a prompt for deeper analysis of school systems.

\nThis simple assessment is intended to provide a quick insight into the kinds of indicators that might be important when using a holistic whole-school sustainability approach. We have included some examples and best practices for you to consider but keep in mind that your school environment and context will require your own unique solutions.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
