@EvePollard_ I would use the 'every drop counts being water wise' as it is an activity that gradually teaches the student about water usage, the supply of water and how they can save water through a step by step investigation. Making them aware, whilst developing 21st Century Skills!

[Julia Cutajar @JuliaCutajar]

Every drop counts, being water wise! Junior Landcare offers a variety of learning activities and resources which align with curriculum and framework links. These activities encourage #problembasedlearning and #reciprocallearning!

@Brook_bailey_98 I agree, as through the consistent teaching of Global Competencies students will be prepared to manage and spark change in the future.

[Julia Cutajar @JuliaCutajar]

Today's #GlobalLeaders displaying a united front against #ClimateAction is admirable. Do you believe teaching our youth #GlobalCompetencies will promote sustainable action and change through #21stCenturyLearning? I definitely do! #SDG13 #UoNTeach #educ4750

[bitesizeSDGs 🌎🌍🌏 @bitesizeSDGs]

We see brilliant bite-sized connections made to #SDG13 shared by schools around the world 👏

We urge you to stay motivated & continue to inspire generations to take #ClimateAction & achieve the #SDGs.

Tag #bitesizeSDGs as 'Collaboration is Multiplication.'

[Julia Cutajar @JuliaCutajar]

@Brook_bailey_98 Yes, education is the key to change! Your point of planting native deep-rooted vegetation is so vital. As it helps to keep the water table low, thus preventing the ground water from reaching the salt layer which will result in contaminated groundwater!

[Julia Cutajar @JuliaCutajar]

#WorldWaterDay is soon approaching! Providing an opportunity to use the power of #Education to raise awareness for the sustainability of this vital resource. Groundwater is this year's focus, do you know what is needed to protect this crucial reserve? #UonTeach #educ4750 #SDG6

[Julia Cutajar @JuliaCutajar]

@EvePollard_ That is such an excellent and beneficial idea! I agree, giving students a choice in their learning does promote higher academic standards as they are more invested in their learning.

[Julia Cutajar @JuliaCutajar]

#WorldRecyclingDay- 18/3, presents the opportunity for meaningful #placebasededucation (PBE). #wastewisekids foster innovative and critical thinking skills, creating environmental activists in the community. How would you use PBE to support recycling? #SDG15 #UonTeach #educ4750

[T&B @T_BContractors]

Delighted to have officially become members of Waste Wise Kids and to have received our educational boxes to promote and use in Primary Schools! Waste Wise Kids is a not-for-profit supporting Primary Schools in teaching children about waste, recycling and sustainability 🌎

[Julia Cutajar @JuliaCutajar]

@Brook_bailey_98 Engaging activities such as this are the key to in-depth learning!

[Julia Cutajar @JuliaCutajar]

@Brook_bailey_98 Yes, there are so many beneficial campaigns out there that relate to SDG's. Involving students in these campaigns provide an engaging and educational learning experience.

[Julia Cutajar @JuliaCutajar]

The Less Litter, More Recycling Campaign is a great way to get schools involved and familiar with the #SDGs as this campaign aligns with #SDG3. What positive effects do you believe this campaign will have on the students in your school? #UoNTeach #educ4750 https://t.co/lC2hCA1fIj

[Julia Cutajar @JuliaCutajar]

@Brook_bailey_98 That's an excellent collaborative idea! It is activities such as this that bring peers and the school community together to learn, grow, and understand each other.

[Julia Cutajar @JuliaCutajar]

Harmony Day🧡
This day further encourages educators to learn about their student's culture and to apply this knowledge to create in depth-culturally responsive pedagogy. What activity would you invoke to create belonging and inclusiveness in your class?
#SDG15 #UoNTeach #educ4750

[NSW Dept of Education @NSWEducation]

Happy Harmony Day! 🧡

[Julia Cutajar @JuliaCutajar]

@Brook_bailey_98 Yes, it offers an engaging, educational, and beneficial activity for the whole class!

[Julia Cutajar @JuliaCutajar]

Is your school bee-friendly? There are a variety of plants that can be incorporated into your school garden to attract pollinators. What benefits and activities do you think can arise through this idea?🐝 #projectbasedlearning
#SDG15 #educ4750 #UoNTeach https://t.co/KK4Ydr90P1

[Julia Cutajar @JuliaCutajar]

@Brook_bailey_98 Yes, and through project-based activities such as this more beneficial activities can occur through the development of interest in this topic.

[Julia Cutajar @JuliaCutajar]

It is great seeing local Port Macquarie schools implementing #placebasedlearning, to advocate the safety of our vital pollinators. Do you know your local pollinators and the role they play in the functionality of the earth? #UoNTeach #education #SDG12 #pollinators #savethebees

[Julia Cutajar @JuliaCutajar]

@BrittAckroyd I agree! This activity offers many beneficial learning experiences which are engaging, whilst fostering 21st Century Learning skills. Also, the productivity produced through relevant project-based learning supports the development of in-depth knowledge.

[Julia Cutajar @JuliaCutajar]

@EvePollard_ Yes, students taking responsibility for caring for their own garden will create appreciation and develop many other beneficial skills.

[Julia Cutajar @JuliaCutajar]

Gardens are an excellent activity that allows for #placeresponsivepedagogy to occur. This form of pedagogy creates meaningful connections to outdoor education and local knowledge. What benefits do you think students would gain from this pedagogy? #educ4750 #UoNteach #SDG3 #SDG11

[Julia Cutajar @JuliaCutajar]

@Brook_bailey_98 Yes, I agree, this activity can not only be integrated with many KLA's but it can help develop important 21st Century Skills/

[Julia Cutajar @JuliaCutajar]

@teacher_access Yes, I believe raising awareness may change people's perceptions. Thus benefiting the ecosystems immensely through new mindsets aimed at caring for and protecting these species!

[Julia Cutajar @JuliaCutajar]

A single flying fox can disperse up to 60,000 seeds in one night, making them vital for the survival of our eucalypt and rainforest ecosystems. #communitybasedpedagogy can be used to protect this vital creature through an involved and hands-on way.🌱🌳#SDG15 #educ4750 #UoNTeach

[Julia Cutajar @JuliaCutajar]

@BrittAckroyd Yes, the development of both those skills is crucial. By developing them in an engaging and relevant way it will foster mastery knowledge.

[Julia Cutajar @JuliaCutajar]

The project-based activity of designing and building a bird feeder follows #SDG15. #commuintybasedpedagogy is fostered by placing these feeders around the community and schools. Activities such as the identification and monitoring of species can also occur.🪺 #UoNTeach #EDUC4750

[Julia Cutajar @JuliaCutajar]

@EvePollard_ Yes, there are many benefits for both the teacher and student when using this type of vocabulary. Changing the dynamic of the classroom in a positive way will foster a quality learning environment.

[Julia Cutajar @JuliaCutajar]

Solution Focused Vocabulary = Enhanced Wellbeing. What benefits do you believe come from using this type of vocabulary? I believe this approach positions individuals to see the best in each other, whilst fostering a positive growth mindset.🧠💟 #UoNTeach #educ4750 #SDG3

[Julia Cutajar @JuliaCutajar]

@EvePollard_ Twitter has notably become such an enriching tool to gather and share quality resources with one another!

[Julia Cutajar @JuliaCutajar]

Teachers can develop in-depth knowledge of particular SDGs from this resource, whilst gaining access to relevant resources! I struggle to brainstorm activities for particular SDGs, do you? This site provides excellent help! #educ4750 #UoNTeach #SDG1 https://t.co/pwZchBYcXw

[Julia Cutajar @JuliaCutajar]

@BrittAckroyd Yes, I agree, reaching out for quality resources as well as sharing our own is so important in strengthening the teaching community to further benefit the school community.

[Julia Cutajar @JuliaCutajar]

@BrittAckroyd Yes, I agree! Students are given the opportunity to connect based on their individual passions and interest in relation to wildlife, through learning about current environmental issues.

[Julia Cutajar @JuliaCutajar]

#WorldWildlifeDay can stimulate action in your school! This can be achieved through #communitybasedpedagogy and #projectbasedlearning! Local species can be supported through a variety of activities and fundraisers. What effect can your school have?🐦🌳 #UoNTeach #SDG15 #educ4750

[World Wildlife Day @WildlifeDay]

There are over 22,000 endangered & critically endangered species on the IUCN Red List. Continued species loss is a threat to people and planet. For #WWD2022, let us all support conservation of vulnerable plants and animals. Learn more: https://t.co/hW7VtdeXHK #RecoverKeySpecies

[Julia Cutajar @JuliaCutajar]

@Brook_bailey_98 Yes, regular exposure to this information is crucial due to the constant changes in the quality of our oceans. Investigation activities on this topic would be excellent due to the opportunity to develop 21st Century skills.

[Julia Cutajar @JuliaCutajar]

#Take3fortheSea runs programs based on the #SDGs and #21stCenturyLearning. Encourage your students to get involved as it develops passionate and educated young leaders, whilst giving them the tools and knowledge they need to spark environmental change. #SDG14 #educ4750 #UoNTeach

@Brook_bailey_98 Yes, I believe the key to developing a sustainable understanding for students is through engaging activities for all learning types. Using quality literature in the form of comic books is excellent as it is age-appropriate and engaging.

[Julia Cutajar @JuliaCutajar]

Engagement in the texts we read has the potential to spark interest and action! This resource offers a variety of #sustainability, age-appropriate texts that aim to promote awareness at a young age. Would you incorporate these texts in your classroom?🌱 #UonTeach #educ4750 #SDG15
