@Kathryn98864305 Thank you for sharing! This looks like a great resource to use in the classroom!

[Amber Franks @AmberLeeFranks]

@MissZRay As someone who is also planning for #SDG12 this is very helpful, thank you! That website has lots of useful information that can be used in a classroom #UoNTeach

[Amber Franks @AmberLeeFranks]

Starting a new topic can be quite daunting for students, using graphic organisers is an effective way of introducing new ideas such as #sustainability #SDG12 that keeps it simple and engaging. Below are some of my favourite to use - what is your favourite? #UoNTeach #EDUC4750

[Amber Franks @AmberLeeFranks]

How will you encourage community collaboration in your classroom? #Educ4750 #UoNTeach #SDG12

[Amber Franks @AmberLeeFranks]

#Community and #Collaboration is key when developing a unit plan on #SDG12 - I will use @Seesaw to keep families connected, encourage collaboration and reflect on my professional practice in the classroom. Students can show their families how they’re #makingadifference #UoNTeach

[Amber Franks @AmberLeeFranks]

When developing a unit plan on #sustainability #sdg12 it’s important to discuss Indigenous perspectives - check this out - Aboriginal Perspectives in Environmental Education: https://t.co/TvejlAX91J How will you address cultural values in your lessons? #uonteach #Educ4750

[Amber Franks @AmberLeeFranks]

Art in the classroom offers a fresh & engaging way to teach #SDG12 - Japanese artist Hiroshi exhibits ways we can be #responsible #consumers & #producers by using recycled materials in his artworks. Modelling this behaviour allows students to be inspired in their lives #UoNTeach

[Amber Franks @AmberLeeFranks]

Online Eco-Awareness Festivals are the perfect way to introduce #SDG12 into the classroom. This allows for students & families to get involved in #sustainability and #reducingwaste whilst also incorporating ICT. Check out this website: https://t.co/i60AnGDILH #UoNTeach #educ4750

[Amber Franks @AmberLeeFranks]

It’s important to remember that not all schools have the resources to put money into #sustainability projects but with a simple Google you can get tips for #sustainableliving on a budget. What tips will you use in the classroom? #sdg12 #uonteach #educ4750 https://t.co/bdXxS6ZWEG

[Amber Franks @AmberLeeFranks]

What #wastefocus is most important to you? An anonymous poll would be a great way to get a general consensus on your class’ views about #sustainability. In the classroom you can take a look into all areas of waste and see if anyone’s opinions change #SDG12 #uonteach #Educ4750

[Amber Franks @AmberLeeFranks]

This is interesting! What a #relevant and #engaging way to discuss #waste. Students could view how waste impacts the environment - there’s also opportunity for #community integration with an activity like this. How would you involve the community? #sdg12 #uonteach #Educ4750

[Amber Franks @AmberLeeFranks]

Getting information about each individual school would allow this to be achieved. Schools that may not have ICT resources could always attend the local library and access free resources such as https://t.co/GIueSK9QeF it’s always possible to #engage and #learn #sdg12 #educ4750

[Amber Franks @AmberLeeFranks]

Love this! I think it’s important to remember that #recycling and #sustainability needs to be addressed in the classroom all year round but events like this is the perfect place to start! S’s could use the information learnt at the event in their daily lives #sdg12 #uonteach

[Jack Kehoe @Jack_KehoeUON]

Annual events such as 'Nation Recycling Week' ran by Planet Art are great examples of ways schools and teachers can relate students everyday learning to current world topics/problems. For more information on this event head to https://t.co/yGMIqVtaOH #UoNTeach #SDG12 #EDUC4750

[Amber Franks @AmberLeeFranks]

I love the encouragement of ICT in the classroom! Especially for addressing #sustainability and #SDG12 - I wonder what ways this goal can be achieved in low SES schools where they might not have access to these types of resources? #uonteach #educ4750

[Amber Franks @AmberLeeFranks]

When thinking about #sustainability we often forget about #ewaste but in a world full of technology it is so important to encourage #responsible #recyclying of electronic devices. What’s one way this can be addressed in the classroom? #sdg12 #uonteach #educ4750

Children’s books are the perfect opportunity for #engaging students and #teaching them about important topics such as #sustainability - The Lorax is a text that addresses themes of #sustainableproduction - what is your favourite book to use in the classroom? #sdg12 #uonteach

[Amber Franks @AmberLeeFranks]

This is a great resource! I think the use of the questioning is such an important skill that can be easily implemented in the classroom to promote #selfreflection and #deepthinking what other questions would you ask your students about #sdg12? #uonteach #educ4750

[Hugh @Hugh10297614]

How can we get students thinking about how their food choices impact #sdg12 ? This visual is a great reminder to utilise in the classroom! How can we encourage students to make positive changes and select more direct producer to consumer food paths? #uonteach #Educ4750

[Amber Franks @AmberLeeFranks]

Thank you for sharing this! Quality professional development is a big part of creating effective lessons for #students what are some other PD opportunities that focus on #sustainability? #sdg12 #educ4750 #uonteach

With Easter just around the corner it is important to remember to #recycle this holiday (and every day!). Check out seedandsproutco’s post on Instagram about recycling this Easter. A simple fact to share with your students! #sdg12 https://t.co/kXcvhaGBa0

[Better Blue Planet @betterblueke]

Besides cultivating conscious consumerism, #SDG12 seeks to encourage companies especially large transnational corporations to adopt sustainable business practices & integrate truthful sustainability information in their reporting cycles.
