SELF-REFLECTION: INVITATION FOR EDUCATORS:

  1. What sustainability challenge is most alive in your community right now, and does your unit help students connect it to larger global patterns?
  2. Whose knowledge counts in your classroom, and whose expertise might be missing, such as students, families, workers, community elders, local partners, or peers in another place?
  3. How might students learn alongside people in another community — locally, regionally, or internationally — who are facing related sustainability challenges?
  4. What barriers might shape students’ participation? Think of time, technology, language, family responsibilities, confidence, or access...And how can the unit be flexible enough to include them?
  5. What growth are you hoping students develop beyond content knowledge, such as systems thinking, care, teamwork, intercultural understanding, or shared problem-solving, and how will you know it happened?
