Thanks to everyone who joined us tonight for our session on "CRRP Considerations for Teaching the SDGs"! As always, it was such a pleasure to share (virtual) space with educators, K-12, in diverse roles in UGDSB, chatting about all of the connections in this work!

This month we emphasized SDGs 10, 15, and 16. Working with #goalsproject has us considering how all of those connect to SDG 2: Zero Hunger & the SDG wedding cake. What connections do you/your Ss see? What curriculum/classroom learning goals can you meet through digging in?

The Grade 7-9 group of global changemakers in #GoalsProject are wrapping up their 3rd week. It has been awesome to hear from 2 of the Canadian groups about how they are localizing their understanding of SDG2 as they begin thinking about their plan for action!

Over 3600 classrooms from around the world participating in #GoalsProject this year. How are you incorporating the UN SDGs in your classroom @ugdsb? Let's get to work. Let's make it happen! youtube.com/watch?v=RpqVmvMC…
