Conference to Restore Humanity! 2025: Quest for Connection

Research that showcases how a student's focus on self-esteem (via congratulations or grades) takes away from learning outcomes as a whole as all focused is placed on the individual, and has little effect on a student's actual self-worth.

Experiential Learning and the SDGs w/ Dr. Jennifer Williams

BON

March 1, 2020

Tackling real world issues within the classroom.

In this interactive discussion, we will discuss connecting the UN Sustainable Development Goals to authentic projects in the classroom.

Participants will be posed with these questions, but the conversation will take us on a journey of its own:

How does one become inspired to start a SDG-related project? How can we incorporate student inspiration and voice to the planning process?
What components work well in SDG-related projects? What tools, websites, or objectives are there?
How can we take projects into the community to make meaningful, authentic change for the world?

Please see the attached Google Document for all the notes from this conversation, as well as a variety of external links.
