The old adage, “Tell me and I forget, show me and I remember, involve me and I understand,” is a guiding principle in the Student Leadership for Change (SLC) approach. This comprehensive suite of eco-social learning materials helps learners understand current sustainability issues—while connecting them to specific, measurable actions that can be taken in their own lives.

SLC is organized into Modules that revolve around key sustainability, climate, and social justice values. The structured, inquiry-based approach enables teachers to address these 21st century issues while helping students develop core competencies in:

  • Critical thinking
  • Creative communication
  • Personal and social responsibility

Student Leadership for Change

Available in both French and Distance Learning formats, SLC includes 44 unique Student Action Packs that focus on specific topics, guiding learners through a journey of reflection, research, action and communication.

  • SLC combines the best of teacher-facilitated class discussions and student presentations with independent student research, referencing videos and articles online as well as research activities in the home or community.
  • Student inquiries are deepened and supported through the structured process of the Action Packs and the opportunity to collaborate in groups or work independently.
  • Teachers are supported with extensive resources including lesson plans and handouts for classroom activities.
