The Environment and Sustainability Learning and Teaching Academic Standards (LTAS) project developed standards for the environment and sustainability field - documenting what students need to know and be able to do upon graduation.
The project team consulted with a wide range of stakeholders including tertiary educators and researchers, employers and practitioners, students, other environmental educators and indigenous people. The standards are in the Learning and Teaching Academic Standards (LTAS) Statement, available here and on the OLT website (along with the Project Final Report). A one-page infographic about the project processes and outcomes is available here.
