So, it has been awhile since I have posted to this blog for many reasons, but the main one being that I have move country and school. Now I am settled, I would like to get back to sharing my passion to integrate sustainability into my teaching. It is hard to task to "start over" on this journey. Figuring out the new curriculum and ways to bring in the ideas of sustainability. It is something that usually appears with hindsight, so I'm trying to record these ideas. However, the big thing that happened last week was finding colleagues (one in particular)who shares this passion. She did a plastic initiative at her last school last year and went to a Global Goals conference. YEAH!!! You have to find these people and get them going - Collaborate for the Goals. So, we now have ambitious plans including getting an ES Eco-Committee started in January so that the students can start to make the impact. We can take the existing ideas and resources and the school and add what we know to create great ideas. I can't wait to get started and revitalize my teaching again with all these great ideas. Will keep you posted. :)
