That's where teachers come in. It is critical that students know and understand the goals and begin to take action now. Toward the end of 2016, four educators came together, met with officials at the United Nations and a movement was born. #TeachSDGs has grown over the last two years to over 300 ambassadors, and over 30,000 followers. Now it's your turn to take part.
Go2Science supports classrooms in addressing the SDGs to make a difference that extends outside the classroom. While most of our previous Service Learning opportunities were already directly aligned with the SDGs, we are making it even easier by including the logo that corresponds to the goal right in the Service Learning area of each lesson. By simply using the vocabulary associated with the goals, our students will soon become well-versed in speaking about them, and more importantly taking action. Here's to teachers and students around the world, working together, to improve the world by 2030!

If you are a consumer of edu-blogs like me, you've probably already seen this post on the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics blog from January. Basically, the author calls into question many of the practices we routinely repeat during calendar time. During my 25 years in kindergarten, I mixed and remixed. I flipped and flopped by routines trying to increase engagement and target key skills. We tried high tech. We tried low tech. We practically turned it into a full scale musical production in a attempt to get it right!
Nothing seemed to be exactly the right thing to keep student engagement high. The days of the week are only SO exciting and WHY are we so concerned with tracking them after all? Oh, how I wish I'd had access to THIS mission while in MY classroom. It's so mathematically juicy! So, if your class has lost its passion for counting up the days in school, why not re-purpose those counters for this mission. Your students will have a REAL and IMPORTANT reason for working with numbers! |
