Professional Development
for Educators
"I really enjoyed the workshop! I am most excited about the iceberg model to look at events, as I think it could be widely applied to look at cause and consequence. I hope to be able to use some systems thinking in my grade 7 climate change science unit. I was already familiar with systems thinking from a biological systems point of view, but some big take aways were applying it to a wider variety of topics/subjects, and tools to make it approachable at the middle school level.

"Thanks for an awesome workshop, Jackie! I had no idea the SDGs existed until doing a masters program that wove the SDGs through much of our coursework. I’ve been trying to figure out how to make these big global projects make sense for my grade 6s, and it’s a relief to see that you and others have already done so much thinking and experimenting."

"I am excited to use the sustainable development goals to help build my student’s background knowledge of what is needed to make decisions as a whole (grade 6 curriculum big idea) to come up with solutions on how countries can work together for climate change. To see the interconnectedness of the goals is helpful and these tools will help build a better picture before we go into our mock UN Climate summit. Thanks!"

"I must say that the session was wonderful, learners at Podar International School Mumbai were extremely excited. The informative brainstorming session with you helped our learners to
dive further into their inquiry."
