It was yet another impactful experience yesterday as we gladly attended the last #Teach4SDGs training workshop. Our guest speaker was Madam Ruth Olowosile (Executive Dir. of 'The Sustainable Green Environment Initiative', Cofounder and Executive Dir. of SGI) She spoke on the topic: How To Design Climate Change and SDGs Program Curriculum for Schools and other Students. Key Takeaways includes but not limited to: 1. Integrate Climate Change and SDGs into existing curriculum 2. Use interactive and experiential learning methods 3. Focus on student-centered and inquiry-based learning 4. Emphasize critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration and Connect learning to real-world scenarios and applications 5. Encourage student-led initiatives and community engagement 6. Provide opportunities for reflection, self-assessment, and feedback Factors to consider while Designing Activities: 1. Align those activities with learning objectives and outcomes 2. Incorporate diverse perspectives and voices e.g inviting guest speakers to speak to the students. 3. Use storytelling and scenario-based learning 4. Encourage creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship 5. Foster partnerships and collaborations with external organizations Note: she emphasize that educators have to be cautious of their approach to teaching; being mindful of what they say and do. Being mindful of the age of their students and tailoring their teaching techniques to fit that age, not exposing them to thing beyond their understanding and need at the moment. And lots more.. I am really grateful to be part of this movement. #AIIDEV #AIIDEVAFRICA #TEACH4SDGs

𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗹 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀: 𝗡𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗗𝗚 𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 🌍✨ Thank you to everyone who shared their thoughts in last week’s poll on aligning with the SDGs in accreditation! The results brought valuable perspectives to light: • 33% voted for ‘Focusing on a few high-impact SDGs • 17% chose ‘Integrating all relevant SDGs • 50% supported ‘Creating unique, school-specific impact measures. These insights reflect the diversity in strategic approaches schools take when aligning with global impact goals. Societal impact has become an integral part of accreditation, and aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) poses both opportunities and challenges for institutions. While some schools choose to dive deep into a select few SDGs to maximize their impact, others aim for a comprehensive alignment that showcases their broad commitment to global standards. Still, some carve out their own unique path, developing custom impact measures that resonate closely with their mission and strengths. Each approach has its merits: • Focusing on a few high-impact SDGs allows for depth and measurable change, making it easier to track and report significant outcomes. • Integrating a wide range of SDGs shows a holistic commitment but can spread resources thin. • Creating custom, school-specific measures fosters innovation but requires careful design to remain impactful and relevant. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁? The poll results show that there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Institutions need to consider their mission, resources, and strategic vision to determine the best path forward. The key takeaway? Whether schools choose to focus, integrate broadly, or innovate uniquely, the end goal remains the same: 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱. 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗧𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀? How is your institution approaching SDG alignment in its accreditation strategy? Are you seeing success with your chosen method? We would love to hear your experiences and insights! #SDGAlignment #BusinessEducation #Accreditation #SocietalImpact #askQED #QEDconnect

Passionate about learning. Devoted to valuing educators' time and talent to enhance learning and wellbeing for all.
Some of the back story on the #PathwaysSummit2024!
Massive props to Corey Topf and others doing the important work of providing students with innovative and alternative pathways. Check out Cory's article, where he shares a bit about the work he and others have done over the past decade to launch innovative educational programs, such as the Innovation Diploma at AISB, at international schools worldwide. (https://lnkd.in/g5s_iPtX) These programs encourage students to tackle real-world problems by integrating multiple disciplines through project-based courses, enhancing their autonomy and interdisciplinary understanding. Moreover, students can deeply explore a specialized field to discover potential career paths. We share the realization that true innovation in education is often hindered by the limitations of working in isolation. This is why AISB and other international schools joined forces to create a collaborative, innovative diploma program. This partnership is not just about sharing resources but also about fostering connections between educators and students and gaining recognition from universities and families. It's evidence of the power of collective efforts in shaping the future of education. They are organizing the Pathways Summit to support collaboration and resource sharing. The summit is scheduled for May 3rd and 4th, with preliminary discussions starting in March. The summit has attracted around 40 schools who share the urgency and importance of collaboratively addressing educational needs. Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/g5XgehaZ. I encourage you to learn more about this important work! How are you providing alternative or innovative pathways for your students?

🌟 Excited to share that I've completed the "Sustainable Development in the 21st Century" course by Yonsei University on Coursera, featuring insights from the renowned Ban Ki-moon! 🎓 This course has been a transformative experience, providing a comprehensive overview of sustainable development and its critical role in shaping our world. From exploring the interconnectedness of global challenges to examining innovative solutions for building a more sustainable future, the course content has been both enlightening and empowering. 💡🌍 One aspect that particularly resonated with me was the in-depth exploration of SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being. As one of the founders of Bloody Mary & Co, a sustainable impact project focused on blood donation awareness, I've seen firsthand the importance of promoting health and well-being within communities. The course deepened my understanding of the complex factors influencing global health outcomes and inspired me to further advocate for positive change in this area. 💪🩺 💬 Throughout the course, I had the opportunity to engage in thought-provoking discussions, apply new concepts to real-world scenarios, and think about real solutions to propose to community leaders. These experiences have not only enriched my learning journey but have also strengthened my commitment to driving sustainable development initiatives in my community. 🌱 🙏 I'm incredibly grateful to Yonsei University and Coursera for offering such a comprehensive and impactful course. I highly recommend it to anyone passionate about creating a more sustainable and equitable world. https://lnkd.in/eapRZCwu Let's continue working together to build a brighter future for generations to come! 💫 #SustainableDevelopment #YonseiUniversity #Coursera #BanKiMoon #GlobalHealth #SDGs #CommunityImpact
