@jakeeeade Definitely! While there are things we can do to help those in need. The government plays a huge role in helping people living in #poverty.

[Ellen Rae @EllenRae19]

Australia's new budget lacks delivery of stability and prosperity. Australia needs to focus on delivering long term programs that improve the lives of people in poverty. #SDG1 #Budget2022 #UoNteach #educ4750

[Oxfam Australia @OxfamAustralia]

MEDIA STATEMENT:

Budget lacks ambition at time of massive need

Oxfam CE @MsLynM :

“At a time of rapidly escalating need and growing inequality, this federal budget fails to demonstrate the leadership that is required from Australia."

@jasmine_mcvean This is a great resource. It can be difficult to come by stage appropriate resources that focus on the #SDGs!

[Ellen Rae @EllenRae19]

@jasmine_mcvean It is so important for students to learn about #SustainableConsumption! Sustainable consumption can be something as easy as buying local produce!

[Ellen Rae @EllenRae19]

I came across this photo of a classroom display, of the Aboriginal 8 ways. I really like the idea of having a visual in the classroom, to support teaching and learning. How do you include Aboriginal perspectives? @mrsperkoteaches @sandteachtrust1 @ThinkIncIusion @MKnight826

[Ellen Rae @EllenRae19]

The '8 Aboriginal ways of learning' is a fantastic way to embed Aboriginal perspectives into the classroom. Definitely recommend incorporating the 8 Aboriginal Ways of Learning into your classroom! #8ways #educ4750 #UoNteach

[bitesizeSDGs 🌎🌍🌏 @bitesizeSDGs]

Appreciation tweet to all the student teachers at @Uni_Newcastle who are #TakingActionOnline to engage with & share bite-sized connections made to #SDGs in our global classrooms!

Tag @bitesizeSDGs because collaboration is multiplication 💪

Giving children between 0-8 the very best start in life is fundamental in success.
Simply shifting money around and doing more of the same is not efficient in lifting children out of poverty. @logantogether

[Ellen Rae @EllenRae19]

If you are interested, have a look at Logan Together, which aims to give children in the town of Logan, QLD, the very best start in life. Education can help to lift people out of poverty.

@LonerganLily Absolutely, there is so much literature available to address the sustainable development goals. Have you found any for your unit @LonerganLily?

[Ellen Rae @EllenRae19]

A great children's book which addresses issues of poverty, instilling values of empathy, kindness and caring for others. #UoNTeach #EDUC4750 #SDG1

[LABitesHunger @LABitesHunger]

What do you do if your best friend’s family doesn’t have enough food? @MaddisFridge #KidsBook #Hunger

[Ellen Rae @EllenRae19]

While it is easy to feel helpless when looking at global issues such as #poverty, there are many things we can do to take action! Have a read, the paper outlines 10 ways to reduce global poverty. https://t.co/SoUjVDUocO
@bitesizeSDGs #UoNTeach #educ4750 #nopoverty

[Ellen Rae @EllenRae19]

Beyond saddened to learn that out of all age groups, children are the most likely to be living in poverty. With 1 in 6 children living below the poverty line in NSW.
Why is there so much economic disadvantage in our state? #SDG1 #Educ4750 #Uonteach

[Ellen Rae @EllenRae19]

@LonerganLily Providing a stimulus is a great way to promote #collaboration. I don’t have a great deal of experience with ‘Thinking hats’ but have heard great things

[Ellen Rae @EllenRae19]

#ProjectBasedLearning is where students participate in authentic learning experiences through an inquiry process (Budiarti, Macqueen, Ferguson-Patrick & Reynolds, 2021).
How can we enhance #PBL to make it more student-driven?
#UoNTeach #EDUC4750

[Ellen Rae @EllenRae19]

@ThinkIncIusion @WARATAHWESTPS Great point @ThinkIncIusion. It is so important that as educators we ensure that we have a great understanding of local Aboriginal culture and histories #ConsultationIsKey. There is so much we can learn from Aboriginal students and their families too!

[Ellen Rae @EllenRae19]

Love this from @WARATAHWESTPS. Providing students with the skills and insight to make an informed and direct contribution to the #reconciliation process is critically important (Biddle & Priest, 2019)
How do you teach #reconciliation?
#UoNTeach #educ4750 #SorryDay

[Waratah West PS @WARATAHWESTPS]

Marky knows what reconciliation is all about. #SorryDay2021 #LoveWhereYouWork #teachnsw

[Ellen Rae @EllenRae19]

@LonerganLily @LonerganLily, the statistics are concerning. However there are things we can do, it is easy to look at the poverty crisis and feel helpless. As teachers we can educate future generations to be climate conscious, create awareness and volunteer to help achieve #nopoverty

[Ellen Rae @EllenRae19]

Extremely powerful.

In a world where you can be anything, be #kind!

@CodyBella08 @TwinklAustralia Yes, I love #CollaborativeLearning. I think it is something that is not done enough! When students work together they can share ideas and produce amazing work
!

[Ellen Rae @EllenRae19]

I plan on using this resource from @TwinklAustralia in my #SDG unit. I find implementing PowerPoints into lessons beneficial in enhancing students focus as they have great visual impact.
How do you #engage students in the classroom?
#SDGs #UoNTeach #educ4750

[Ellen Rae @EllenRae19]

@jasmine_mcvean @primarystemchat @CodyBella08 @MissKimberleyT @LonerganLily Absolutely! Check out this @FizzicsEducation website. It provides ideas for teaching the #SDGs using #STEM lessons! A fantastic idea I came across suggested having students investigate how STEM has assisted in alleviating poverty https://t.co/pHwzwua3hB

[Ellen Rae @EllenRae19]

Promoting STEM in the classroom is a great way to incorporate #21stCentury learning and increase student #engagement. Thoroughly enjoyed scrolling @primarystemchat, I encourage you to check it out! @CodyBella08 @jasmine_mcvean @MissKimberleyT @LonerganLily #Educ4750 #UonTeach

[Mrs Michelle Perkins @mrsperkoteaches]

@millee_ann2022 Have you looked at @primarystemchat and their @wakelet - Here's the link - do a search and see what they have discussed previously on #Twitter. https://t.co/nNyaBK1SPT #educ4750 @Hollie_Segalla @fletcher_doug1 @SachelleHuby @V7Danielle @EllenRae19 @Jodie_Mowczko Tag more people!

[Ellen Rae @EllenRae19]

@jasmine_mcvean You are exactly right, the more I learn about the #SDGs the more I realise how they all relate so closely. I think it would be hard to solely teach students about 1 #SDG without addressing others!

[Ellen Rae @EllenRae19]

Climate change disproportionately affects those living in #poverty and is increasing the divide between those with resources and those without.
Climate resistant crops are one way we can minimise impacts of climate change. #SDG1 #NoPoverty #EDUC4750 #UoNTeach #ClimateCrisis

[Caitlin Shoulders @CaitlinShoulder]

Climate change is impacting all of our SDGs.
Powerful image that could be shown to students of how climate change is hurting our health. #sdg13 #sdg3 #educ4750 #UoNTeach

[Ellen Rae @EllenRae19]

@Luis_Jar10 I appreciate the Retweet, I think this is such a great way to incorporate #BloomsTaxonomy. I will definitely be using this in my class!

[Ellen Rae @EllenRae19]

@LoisBrandt1

[Ellen Rae @EllenRae19]

@MaddisFridge A great question from a 2nd-grader, and one I would find difficult to answer too. Poverty is not natural, it can be overcome by the actions of people.

[Ellen Rae @EllenRae19]

@MissShanRose Retweeting! I love using the 8 ways, such an effective way of implementing Aboriginal perspectives into the classroom!
