8.0 SUMMARY OF

RECOMMENDATIONS

Develop and deliver ALN-specific CCSE resources and

training, ensuring content is age-appropriate for older
learners and accessible for pre-progression step levels.

This will empower learners with hands-on knowledge and

skills relevant to net-zero careers and community-based

climate action.

Embed sustainability as a cross-curricular thread

across all Areas of Learning and Experience (AoLEs), not

just outdoor education, through differentiated, age and
stage-appropriate materials that nurture environmental

awareness from the earliest learning stages.

Reduce teacher and TA workload by investing in high-

quality, ready-made CCSE materials and allocating

dedicated time for preparation and delivery, helping to

prevent burnout and improve staff retention.

Provide inclusive, practical training for both teachers

and teaching assistants, with a focus on building

confidence in CCSE delivery and adapting strategies to
meet the diverse needs of ALN learners.

Establish dedicated CCSE networks and communities of
practice for ALN educators, supporting collaboration,

sharing of resources, and innovation in inclusive

sustainability education across Wales.
