In addition, there are three Contextual Modules, which cover PL in three key intersections of importance to sustainability (Note: in future we intend to expand these to cover more PL intersections); these are:

4. Schools, Communities and Families
5. Municipal Councils and Agencies
6. Business and Training

Each of the Contextual Modules is organised into a sequence of topics, which broadly mirror the steps in the development of a sustainability project, from start to finish. This sequence is not meant to suggest that the PL should follow a similar sequence, but rather is intended to assist PL designers and facilitators to more easily find their way around the various topics, and suggest where specific elements might best be found in the GB.

For each contextual module, the sequence of topics is:

1. Starters for Professional Learning
2. Paradigms and Principles
3. Change Models
4. Facilitation
5. Scoping: Establishing Interest & Engagement
6. Goal Setting
7. Planning
8. Implementing
9. Achieving/ Closure/ Succession Planning

This is a broad, generic approximation of the sequence in which some sustainability projects develop - in the GB approach, the sequence is used an organising framework, rather than as a suggestion that this is the way in which sustainability projects should be planned and implemented.

The first of the Generic Modules (Processes and Paradigms) covers the first seven of these topics, as these (at least up to Goal clarification) precede the substantial elements of Evaluation, as well as Organisation and Strategy. These two other Generic Modules overlap the first Module, beginning at Goal Setting and including all of the topics after this.
