Our Distance Curriculum

SLC: Student Leadership for Change has been adapted, in collaboration with Vancouver Leaning Network (VLN), to be a self-sufficient online program for distance educators and learners. Since May 2012, VLN has integrated each module of SLC for their Planning 10 course serving over 700 students. SLC Distance has received outstanding reviews from both teachers and students. 

Compared to the ‘blended’ classroom curriculum, on-line students are guided through a shorter multi-media introduction to one of the Sustainable Value Modules (Health, Conscious Consumption, Conservation, Connection and Justice). Then each student chooses an Action Pack that focuses on a specific topic within that module. The Action Pack leads the student through a learning process consisting of:

  • Researching relevant videos and website and answering some factual questions
  • Doing an experiential activity to gain perspective on how they are connected to this global and local issue
  • Choosing an action to support positive change within that issue
  • Share their learning with other students using an online forum hosted by either the distance learning provider or Be The Change

SLC Online engages students in very topical, interesting and relevant content, and invites them to interact with the material in a deep way, outside of the classroom. 

SLC Online has been called “the best part of Planning 10” from VLN participants and can simultaneous excitement and deep insight to your course.
