Think Systemically about Quality Education

Activity:
Compass the topic of ‘SDG 4: Quality Education’ with your students to get them thinking systemically about factors that impact and are impacted by the quality of education in their lives.

Measuring Quality Education

Activity:
Do the World Largest Lesson’s ‘Be-A-Fact-ivist’ Lesson and complement it with a systems brainstorming activity using the Sustainability Compass to consider what data we need to find from each Compass Point to reflect systematically on factors impacting quality education.
