What a great school initiative! I will be doing a similar concept with my unit plan! I will assist students to develop a Eco-group π that will help promote climate action in the school and local community!
As part of our #sustainability plan, we have installed a new clothing and shoes recycling point in school! We hope that this can go some way to reducing our school communityβs fabric waste and help us reach our sustainability goals! Great work Eco Group! ππβ»οΈ
Globalization and evolving ICT is changing education! The need for collaborative skills is more essential then ever! I found this table which will be extremely useful when developing my unit. What opportunities will you provide for collaborative learning? #UoNTeach#educ4750
Such a great idea! This could be used as a summative assessment at the end of the unit, with students creating presentations, stories or posters about the project. #UoNTeach#educ4750
This is such a great idea @chelsharrisonn shared. You could also use any funds to invest in specific recycling bins that are only for return and earn plastic wastes. This would get the whole school involved! #educ4750#UoNTeach
Return and Earn! Schools can collect recyclable bottles at school from the canteen and return them! Schools can use this money to buy resources or to fundraise for school events. What other ways could this be used in schools? β»οΈππ#EDUC4750#UoNTeach#SDG13
@chelsharrisonn This is such a great idea! You could also use any funds to invest in specific bins that are only for return and earn plastic wastes. This would get the whole school involved!
Sharkey et al. (2016) state that CBPs is valuing local knowledge and resources to create valuable learning. CBPs is great as using an asset-based approach develops students' global competence as they build relationships with the community. What do you think? #EDUC4750#UoNTeach
@SamuelGannon7 I agree, CBPs is such a great approach to teaching. Developing relationships with the community is such a great way to develop students global competency. It also provides opportunities to involve families in the learning process.
It's another Monday. But this time there is no one to remind me it's Meatless Monday. Oh! How I miss the Ss asking "Ms. Donna, it's Meatless Monday, shouldn't we be taking pictures of our lunches?" #SDG13#StudentAction@bitesizeSDGs@GMA_Kochi
What a great video introducing simple ways to address #climatechange to students. I will use this in my unit plan to begin the discussion about how we can positively impact #climatechange. #UoNTeach#educ4750
Today and every day, commit to taking #ClimateAction!
Here are 8 climate actions you can take for a sustainable world π
There is no more time to waste!
#SDG13#ClimateChange
Evans (2019) highlights how educators are key to sustainability education. It needs to go further than tokenistic βsustainabilityβ it must be a part of the core foundation of the school, with every member of the school community on board and involved. #educ4750#UoNTeach
Developing a cross curriculum program that utilises all disciplines is a difficult task. One way I plan to include history is by developing timelines of historical events and researching how these events impacted the environment. #UoNTeach#educ4750
Sir David Attenborough is one of the worlds most influential documentarians. His 2020 film A life on our planet is an extraordinary resource to show learners the environmental impact #climatechange has on our home. #UoNTeach#educ4750#DavidAttenborough
As educators it is our responsibility to continuously change our pedagogy. Ferguson etal outline numerous ways we can innovate our classroom practice to provide the highest quality education necessary for the 21st century. How will you innovate your teaching? #UoNTeach#educ4750
Inclusion of family in education is a key aspect in creating an inclusive classroom. My unit plan will include not only the local community but also family/caregivers #inclusiveeducation How will you create an inclusive learning environment? #educ4750#UoNTeach
21st century schools are supplied for teaching ICT. Having the materials and using them effectively are not the same though. I plan to use ICT as not only a teaching tool but as a way for students to extend what they learn and share it with #community#educ4750#UoNTeach
Frieda makes a difference published by the #UN is a amazing way to introduce younger students to the #SDGs. It provides simple explanations about each of the #SDGs and ways which we can help achieve them! #educ4750#UoNTeach#UnitedNations
@BrittHunt This is an amazing way to show S how easy it can be to take steps to make impacts on #climatechange by simply recycling plastic bottles at home yourself! Thanks for sharing! #educ4750#UoNTeach#SDGs#SDG13
PLASTIC BOTTLE RECYCLING
A vertical garden is low budget and sustainable! Students and families can get involved by donating used bottles to transform them into a garden within school. This directly corresponds with #SDG14 to reduce marine pollution from land-activity #Educ4750
This gives educators an overview of skills needed for the 21st century Kereluik etal (2013). It guides us on what we need to teach, how to act on this knowledge and what value this has. What strategies will you use to follow this framework? #educ4750#UoNTeach
Mansilla and Jackson (2011) discuss global competency (GC). Integrating #SDGs into curriculum is a great way as educators to assist learners to develop GC. How will you engage the global community in your program?
