Swift Sustainability Project - Session 1

Student Led is a messy process!

How will students have voice?
- this theme is so important in the middle grades for buy in and authentic work

Making time - it's not an option to try and fit it in

Embed this project throughout the curriculum!
- this must be a challenge when there are so many top down expectations regarding curriculum
- there is a dedicated work time but they try and connect across the content areas 

Students are making connections to the Global Goals on there own in other classes!

Making the Sustainable Goals the priority 

How has this impacted you as teachers?
- feels like the projects are making a difference in student thinking and engagement

Grumblings?
- It's new enough that students are buying in
- Important to revisit the reason for this project to reinvigorate students

Successes?
- Some students are realizing changes that need to be made in the school due to this work
