Respondents who currently teach geography at any level report more use of participation in projects with local communities, more participation in projects to improve their school’s sustainability or environment, more participation in school decision-making, and more encouragement for their students to take their learning home to their families (Figure 3). Respondents who currently teach science at any level of education (compared to those not teaching science) reported slightly less use, with the exception or more use of visits to museums or science/technology centres where 30.6% of science teachers reported the activity compared to 21.4% of those not teaching science.
