Cultivating Pedagogical Sustainability in Early Education

Shalini Sharma

Abstract


This abstract explores the concept of pedagogical sustainability in the context of early education, emphasizing the crucial role it plays in fostering holistic development and lifelong learning. The paper delves into the intersection of pedagogy and sustainability, highlighting the need for an educational approach that not only addresses immediate cognitive and social needs but also instills values of environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and ethical awareness from an early age. By examining various pedagogical strategies, curriculum frameworks, and best practices, this abstract underscores the potential of integrating sustainability principles into early education to empower children as active, informed, and compassionate global citizens. The abstract also discusses potential challenges and offers insights into overcoming barriers to implementing pedagogical sustainability effectively. Through a comprehensive review of the literature and practical examples, this abstract contributes to the ongoing discourse on creating a more equitable, interconnected, and environmentally conscious future through early education practices that prioritize pedagogical sustainability.
