Soil health as a stand-alone topic remains clearly underrepresented in  European curricula. To address this gap an educational course on soil health education  specifically designed for pre-service biology and environmental education teachers has been developed. 

The course is aimed at future educators and can be integrated into existing teacher training  programs or offered as an independent module. It comprises four sessions of 90 minutes  each, during which participants explore how to design and implement effective teaching  sessions on soil health. Upon completion, participants are expected to be able to develop  their own teaching scenarios grounded in pedagogical theory and best practices in science  education. 

The course package includes a detailed module description and a set of PowerPoint slides,  enabling interested educators to implement the module independently with their students.

Learning objectives: 

• Students can explain the importance of soil health for education and the  environment. 
• Students can independently plan and design teaching units on soil health. • Students can apply educational concepts and best practices from the modules in  their own teaching.
