These resources were compiled by Ibhan Aggarwal for his Self Directed Project, Semester 1 2022/23
Ibhan is currently a senior at the American School of Dubai. For one of his classes, the Self-Directed Project, he is focusing on promoting sustainable education within academic environments. As part of his work, he developed a guide which provides teachers with resources that combine traditional academic curricula and relevant sustainable themes into classroom lessons.
As sustainability is an important topic to inform youth on, it is essential that students are given the opportunity to learn about and tackle sustainable issues within the comfort of their classrooms. From hands-on activities and simulations to month-long research projects, the resources listed below enable teachers to best incorporate relevant sustainable themes into their classes. Do note that although this is already an exhaustive list of options spanning all academic disciplines and grade levels, there are several other resources online. This is a great starting point, but it is definitely worth researching other options too. With that being said, check out the resources below. They are all free for the public and able to be modified as needed!
Strongly consider implementing some of the lessons and activities from these resources into your own curriculum! Inspiring our youth to be future leaders and changemakers cannot occur without quality education. Promoting sustainable learning within our classrooms would be one of multiple steps to accomplish this.
