Educators
Are you passionate about teaching and curious about what it means to educate in a transdisciplinary setting?
Healthy Start is building a community of educators who are not only trained to develop and teach transdisciplinary modules but also supported in shaping a new kind of teacher identity. Unlike traditional education, which often centres on subject-matter expertise, transdisciplinary education asks for educators who can facilitate collaboration, reflection, and societal engagement across boundaries.
In this community, we explore and develop this evolving teacher identity together—with support from Risbo, CLI and the TU Delft Teaching Academy.
We offer:
- Opportunities to co-develop online modules based on real Healthy Start research
- Support in educational design and teaching qualifications
- A network of educators working across disciplines and institutions
Whether you’re an experienced teacher or new to education, we invite you to help shape a learning ecosystem that connects science, society, and students.
