As teachers, we are always looking for ways to help students to develop habits that would build a more sustainable world. The Systems thinking Toolbox provides a wide array of fun tools to allow students to get a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of systems and the concept of sustainability. This course is packed with informative videos and real lessons where you can see the tools in action. The mentors are extremely knowledgeable and respond promptly with valuable feedback. Most importantly, it is self-paced so you don’t have to worry about completing it when you are overwhelmed at work. After I read the students’ reflections, I was blown away by the depth of their understanding! I would highly recommend this course for anyone who cares about our Earth and wants to take action!
