What Teachers Are Saying...

Ken Larsen

Grade 8 Science Teacher

“The resources that came from Be the Change Earth Alliance and their Student Leadership for Change program offered a wide variety of activities. Students became more aware of the school environment and took more initiative to take care of it (picking up garbage, recycling, taking better care of school resources like textbooks and PE equipment, etc).”

Debbie Lodewijk

Grade 11 Science Teacher

“My teaching practice has blossomed through the teaching of this course. I have seen pride and joy in my students and they are learning to deal with and work through failures and make connections to their food and the local community.”

Mairi Anderson

Grade 5/6 Teacher

“This program is full of well-researched materials for teaching students about human impact on the climate. The resources encourage students to be more self-aware, and sensitive to the world around them, while giving them tools to address the issues they learn about.”

Fiona Buchanan

Grade 10-11 Leadership & Careers Teacher

"I am new at the school and worked with a group of students I have not worked with before. The students were incredibly engaged with the inquiry and the resources we used. The most important observation I made was the empowerment the students felt after finishing the projects. Because the students were required to take actions and because the actions were “doable” students felt like they were actually making a difference."

Alain Raoul

Grade 12 Social Justice Teacher

“SLC was invaluable to my teaching and to my students for the Social Justice 12 program. The lessons were interactive, and instilled leadership for student groups during their presentations. In my opinion, it helped give students more meaning to the importance of fighting injustice."
