Collaborate

Your START dashboard provides a central hub to plan, organize and collaborate on your school’s sustainability efforts.

START can help your school to collaboratively structure and organize your sustainability efforts, supporting transparency, program continuity and overall impact.

Add as many collaborators to your school’s START program as you like, with with editing or view-only permissions.

Team members can:

  • Upload files (planning, documentation, resources, meeting minutes, assessments) for each metric.

  • Create nested communications within each metric.

  • Collaborate across departments, fostering Whole School Sustainability.

A Roadmap for Action

START’s metrics give schools 53+ ways to be more sustainable, with a framework designed around maximum impact.

Your START Team can Learn More about each sustainability metric, with concepts explained in simple language to accommodate diverse levels of existing sustainability knowledge.

Each metric and tier includes a rating of an intervention’s Cost, Difficulty, and Impact, supporting strategic planning and enabling your school to make informed decisions according to its resources and priorities.

"START brings people, planning, and tracking of sustainability initiatives across a school system together into one place."
