Creator

Description

Education has the potential to change the culture of society. It is the education that can change the youth and adults mindset in support of achieving all United Nations sustainable development goals (UN SDGs). Since students understanding and implementation of the SDGs begins from their schools, teachers should be given considerable training and awareness to be equipped to implement the SDGs in their lesson plans on a regular basis. Nevertheless, teachers must strongly uphold the responsibility of supporting the UN SDGs and then must pass on to the younger generation. Thus, the present chapter aims to suggest teacher activities that can enhance teachers understanding of SDGs. It further suggests pedagogical practices for teachers in their regular classroom to develop a deeper understanding and the need for achieving UN SDGs among students. Thus, the present chapter comprises two sections. This chapter presents 14 teacher development activities on SDG-4 target indicators and 13 classroom activities to develop awareness on SDG-4 target indicators among students. The chapter suggests teachers to create activities that can generate critical thinking about sustainability as per the nature of their cohort, class size, context, and the facilities available in their school and immediate surroundings.
