Today I explored The World’s Largest Lesson website. This website was created to introduce students to Sustainable Development Goals so that they can contribute to helping the Earth, as well as the people who live on it.

This website provides teachers with free resources as well as full lesson plans to teach students about issues that our world is facing. The goal is to encourage them to make a positive change.

What kind of topics does the website teach students about?

• Citizenship
• Justice
• Climate Change
• The Environment

The World’s Largest Lesson also posts campaigns and challenges on the website to keep children engaged to make them want to learn more. Their lesson plans are interactive and fun for the students. They also include ideas for student action proposals so kids can actively be involved in making a change.

A free lesson plan that I thought was interesting was gauged to children ages 8-14. In this lesson, the children got to learn about how important sustainability is in our everyday lives. To help them understand nonrenewable vs renewable resources, the students get to create their own tote bag out of a t-shirt. This lesson plan is a great hands-on way to teach students. I was so surprised that they offered it all for free.

The World’s Greatest Lesson is a super easy way for students to learn about the 17 Global Goals to help create a better world. With tons of free resources, teachers can push their students to make a huge impact. Teachers all over the world get access to all of these tools.
