Join us for a dynamic presentation about the SDGs!
Abstract
The Sustainable Development Goals connect to every area of students’ lives. How can something so important and immense be thoroughly explored in a class or curriculum? That’s for each teacher to decide based on what they can do in their unique context. So, in this presentation, I will lay out a buffet of ideas: (1) government goals, (2) big ideas about school and society, (3) a teaching sequence to adopt or modify, and (4) lots of materials. My goal in this presentation/discussion is to help you find a few delicious things that might make a real difference for you, your students, and the world. Let’s figure things out together.
Bio
Jonathan deHaan, Ph.D. (Associate Professor, University of Shizuoka) has been a teacher and researcher for more than 20 years. He started doing work with video games and language acquisition, but by continuing to ask himself “so what?” and “who cares?” has slowly and steadily branched out into media literacy education, projects in communities, role plays and simulation work, and fundamental questions of what, why, and how to teach … anything. He is a founding member of the Ludic Language Pedagogy Journal and community.
