Be the Change
We are pleased to announce that the Montessori Australia Ambassador and Upschool Co-founder Gavin McCormack has developed a series of free educational courses for primary and high school children based on empowerment, purpose and student voice, as demonstrated in this short video presentation.
Those who came to our Thinking Different Conference last week have seen this video presentation and were very excited about this ground-breaking work supporting United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The upcoming course is named 'Be the Change'. The course allows students to choose an SDG that matters to them and work collectively with the wider community to help make positive changes in the way their local community functions to improve the standard of living for every organism on Earth.
Almost 1000 teachers in more than 100 countries have enrolled so far and we would love for you to be involved. The course is totally FREE, aligned with the curriculum and provides schools, children and parents with weekly live lessons, differentiated curriculum documentation, videos for students, teachers and parents as well as task cards, extension activities and mentorship opportunities within your school. Each and every child who enrols is granted a FREE Canva Pro account which will help their creativity shine like never before.
'Be the Change' starts on the 19th of July and you can read more about it by visiting the Upschool.co website.
