ESD (Education for Sustainable Development) is oneof the important approaches in realizing 21st century learning that isoriented towards sustainability. However, teachers at SD Labschool 2 UNESA still have limited understanding of integrating the concept of ESD into thenational curriculum. In addition, the unavailability of implementation guidelines andsystematic learning resources has resulted in suboptimal sustainability-based learning practices.

Methods: The method used in this study was the Project Action Plan (PAP), which was divided into three stages: (1) the preparation stage, (2) the implementation stage, and (3) the monitoring stage. Results: Based on the test results, the success rate for website creation was 100%, the participant attendance rate for the training was 86.67%, and the material delivery rate was 100%. Furthermore, based on observations, participants' ability to understand the material and fill in web content was considered good.Conclusion: These results show that the service program has been able to improve participants' ability to share and adopt best practices from other schools in sustainable education.
