"We are at an urban school with learners from the ages of 13-18 years old. The socioeconomics and demographics include working- class to middle-class families. Majority of our students are of Asian and South-Asian descent. The most important experience for my learners is that they were able to exercise their critical thinking skills."

"Many students commented that when they were challenged to make personal commitments to change their habits (as Be the Change Action Packs require), it really pushed them to think about personal responsibility and ethical choices within a local and global food system."

"Students were surprised by their consumption habits when they were tasked with tracking within their own families.  Many reported speaking to their parents about the household consumption of products and their packaging."

"The inquiry was very powerful and increased awareness about our buying patterns and the impact on the environment of our culture of consumerism."

"The students used the knowledge gained from their inquiry projects to complete a sustainability audit of the school with the help of the Sustainability Manager from the University of Northern BC (UNBC)."

“I wanted to challenge students to address issues of sustainability and social justice and have students inquire into their own lives and behaviors. We used a learning package from Student Leadership and Sustainability provided from Be The Change Earth Alliance”

"The Lessons encouraged my students to get involved and take action.   Many students joined the school’s environment club, getting involved in rain gardens, and presenting at local elementary schools."

"[This Project] simply deepened their knowledge of particular issues and strengthen their commitment to some basic sustainable actions they have already started."

This is a new feature of the site, where teachers of SLS can write their own experiences with SLS.
