A group of early childhood education teachers across various institutions work under a collaborative action-research model for an entire year that is focussed on the following: (1) the institution’s water, solid waste, and energy management; (2) the planning of innovative activities related to water, solid waste, and energy, and; (3) participation in transformative actions that involve families and impact their neighbourhoods. The experience enables the building of a theoretical model of teacher training aimed at acquiring action skills from a comprehensive perspective of triple helix environmental literacy (management, research/innovation, and teaching) that affects their commitments to the management of environmental resources, the eco-auditing of their eco-school, the curricular greening of activities, the renewal of educational programs, and the implementation of an action-research focussed on aspects related to sustainability.}, organization = {Project: "Sustainability in Higher Education: Evaluation of the scope of the 2030 Agenda in curriculum innovation and teacher professional development in Andalusian Universities" B-SEJ-424-UGR18}, publisher = {MDPI}, keywords = {Education for sustainability}, keywords = {Curricular innovation}, keywords = {Sustainability management}, keywords = {Teacher training}, keywords = {Action research}, keywords = {Water}, keywords = {Waste material}, keywords = {Energy}, keywords = {Eco-school}, keywords = {Early childhood education}, title = {Water, Waste Material, and Energy as Key Dimensions of Sustainable Management of Early Childhood Eco-Schools: An Environmental Literacy Model Based on Teachers Action-Competencies (ELTAC)}, doi = {10.3390/w13020145}, author = {López Alcarria, Abigail and Poza Vilches, María De Fátima and Pozo Llorente, María Teresa and Gutiérrez Pérez, José}, }
