My first year of college I went in as an undecided eager to learn everything student and accidently fell in love with economics! Four years later I leave college with a degree in economics and no one to share all my knowledge with. So, naturally I turn to a teaching career, right?

In the education world I bounced around and made amazing connections with students and teachers all over my county, but it wasn’t until I landed in the wonder some world of special education that I made up my mind to teach. In this world, I got a little taste of everything; economics, social and political justice, state legislation, education reform, and much more. Here is where I feel I will make a difference.

If you are a part of Microsoft Educator Community, I strongly urge you to participate in the course Teaching Sustainable Development Goals, and if you aren’t create a profile using your Microsoft account and join in!

The possibilities for teaching children and young adults alike about creating a lasting environment are unlimited. This course successfully outlines how to break down the challenges our world is facing and categorizes them by 17 goals. This is the worlds largest lesson and you won’t want to miss out. Personally goal 8 intrigued my interest from the title alone. Decent work and economic growth.

This goal demonstrates what decent work means and how to achieve decent work for everyone that will in turn result in economic growth. Students can greatly benefit from this lesson. Presents a clear picture how they can make sure that there will be a job for the generation after them!
