WELCOME TO 2009!

What is your Sustainable Living Challenge?

If you're new to the program, welcome!  If you're returning this year, welcome back!  Registration for the 2009 Sustainable Living Challenge is now open, and all teachers must register.  All you need to do is follow these simple steps:

REGISTER for the Sustainable Living Challenge.

Registration enables us to gauge the required level of support, join you into the SLC Network (SLC_net) as well as follow up with recognition certificates for your students.

Remember, teachers are the contact for the program.  If more than one teacher is participating from your school, you each need to be individually registered.  You do not need to know exactly what your project will involve; we want you to have the freedom to let this evolve over the year.  You are registering your participation in the SLC as a teacher, not a specific project.

ENGAGE your students. 

Explore sustainability and how it relates to your area of teaching.  Brainstorm ideas and guide your students' reflection on the inquiry process.  Find inspiration!

Remember, you do not need to be a sustainability expert - create an open atmosphere of exploration and inquiry that starts with your students' questions.

SHARE your projects. 

The submission process helps to encourage reflection and guide your documentation.  

Remember, the emphasis is on student learning outcomes.  Both students and teachers can complete our online project submission form, designed to help you reflect on your learning.  All projects must be submitted by 30 October, 2009 - the last Friday in October.

CELEBRATE your achievements. 

Take time in your classroom or at an assembly to celebrate your achievements and collective efforts in creating a sustainable future.

Remember, we provide all participants with certificates.  Send us a list of your students' names with your project submission and we will send out certificates by the end of Term 4.
