GREENING EDUCATION: STORIES OF SCHOOLS IMPLEMENTING BEST ENVIRONMENTAL PRACTICES

LORNIE JANE T. IMLAHI

Abstract

This study explores the experiences of educators in implementing effective environmental practices within their schools using a qualitative narrative research design. Aiming to understand both the process and impact of these initiatives, the study involved 17 YES-O advisers from various small and large schools in the Municipality of Isulan. Findings indicate that teachers’ leadership and modeling of environmental responsibility, coupled with creativity, resourcefulness, and consistent engagement, shape the success of environmental practices. Effectiveness is further influenced by resource availability, adaptive strategies, community collaboration, parental involvement, and supportive school leadership and policies. Teachers also reported gaining insights into shifting mindsets toward integrated environmental values, empowering students to act as environmental stewards, and applying practical, collaborative approaches to sustain initiatives. These results suggest that teacher-led, collaborative, and adaptive strategies play a critical role in fostering sustainable environmental practices in schools.
