The sheets are intended as introductions to making bioscience teaching more sustainable, with hints and tips on practical steps to improving sustainability in lectures, practical sessions, tutorials, lectures, on fieldtrips and also your office or working area. The tips in the sheets are intended both for individuals and also as ideas that could be raised with, or passed on to, an estates department or a departmental or institutional environmental committee. The sheets also contain some ideas on introducing sustainability issues to students and into teaching.

The sheets were authored by Alzena Wilmot, who worked on the project "Towards the Sustainable teaching of bioscience" funded through the Centre's Departmental Teaching Enhancement Scheme.

**New** The Centre has also developed a sheet bringing together ideas and tips on introducing ESD into bioscience teaching.

How to... include sustainable development in your teaching

Sustainable development (SD) is a wide ranging, multi-disciplinary topic, and within some discipline areas it can be difficult to find links to SD. This sheet aims to bring together some ideas for introducing Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) into teaching within different bioscience disciplines. This sheet is intended more for those who teach areas where ESD is not an integral part of the discipline but may also provide some useful ideas for those who already include ESD in their teaching.
