23 13 This question was only available to those who had previously reported that they included content related to climate change and/or sustainability in their teaching. KEY FINDINGS • The three most frequently used outside the classroom activities to support climate change and sustainability teaching were: encouraging students to take their learning home to families, students participating in projects to improve school sustainability or environment, and students participating in school decision-making. • School buildings, grounds and outside the classroom settings showed relatively low use in relation to climate change and sustainability teaching, particularly by respondents teaching at the secondary level. • Less use of outside the classroom activities to support teaching was reported by respondents currently teaching at the secondary level, compared to those teaching in other levels (except amongst those who reported teaching geography, where those teaching at primary and secondary reported similarly). • There was a positive correlation between reported professional development related to climate change and sustainability and outside the classroom activities used to support teaching related to climate change and sustainability. The questionnaire investigated the types of outside the classroom activities respondents used to support their teaching related to climate change and/or sustainability.13 Out of the 487 teachers who selected one or more items from the range of options, the majority (85.2%) indicated that they used at least one outside the classroom activity and only a small proportion selected ‘none’ (14.8%). Across all responses, the three most frequently selected activities were ‘encourage your students to take their learning home to their families’ (53.2%), ‘participation in projects to improve your school’s sustainability or environment’ (53.0%), and ‘participation in school decision-making’ (32.4%) (Figure 2). 3.1.3 Use of outside the classroom activities
