Supporting Interaction & Integration with the Sustainable Development Goals 

• Integrate all parts of the school through a context and narrative of the SDGs and personal contributions 
• Equip the school, educators, staff and students to be active and effective global citizens
• Work with leadership and staff on vision and strategy, as well as turning ideas, strategy & plans into action
• Offer expertise in approaches and models, as well as culture creation to expand the breadth and depth of future intentions, practices and actions
• Contextualise good work already being done and working towards a vision, outcomes and future strategies 
• Provide resources, best practices and connections on global citizenship, leadership and action planning
• Identify opportunities to easily align with the SDGs and share the associated benefits – internally & externally
• Provide support for key champions and leadership teams enhancing the school community from within

We shift the narrative on the positive things ‘we do’, to them being ‘a part of who we are’ with personal and global contexts

Outcomes from engagements will include, but not be limited to: 

1. A shared vocab and narrative contextualising all aspects of the school, embedding the SDGs in the school strategy and culture
2. Essential understanding of the SDGs, at a personal and collective level, and how to take action for positive impacts on people & planet
3. Highlight, connect and contextualise what the school is already doing to support the SDGs and where it might choose to go

Engagement with Teaspoons of Change & the SDGs: 

• Our engagement is about meeting schools where they are at, and enhancing them with an SDGs and Teaspoons of Change lens 
• Overall, and specifically, we focus on and add value to: SDG engagement, sustainability, wellbeing, leadership, service learning, culture, strategies and other relevant topics, projects, events or initiatives
• Engagements include a summary of observations, appreciations and recommendations for maintaining and enhancing progress
• You have access to Teaspoons of Change through d’Arcy (keynote speaker, presenter and facilitator) or possibly others in your region trained in the Teaspoons of Change presentation and engagement model

What You Can Expect After a Teaspoons of Change & SDG Engagement

Any of the following key menu items could be included in an engagement & tailored to suit the specific needs of the school

A resource, presence & support for the integration of purpose & global citizenship

Baseline Testing & SDG Audit

• Create baseline data on global citizenship literacy and competency to evaluate impact at residence end
• SDG audit school-wide – what is working well, what more could be done, recommendations to SLT to embed 

Connecting Leadership and Whole School with Macro & Micro Contexts

• Connect the dots on all the sustainability, community engagement and social justice programs and actions
• Create an attention to intention so everything has a macro (global) and micro (personal) context

Key Presentations and Workshops on Global Citizenship

• Give presentations and workshops to outline the Global Goals, how the school already compliments what is being done and to how make the Global Goals an important part of the vocabulary and actions, ongoing
• Connect with clients and the wider community to share global perspectives and what is being done, and amplify them

Professional Development & Support Key People and Positions

• Sessions for all staff as well as specific meetings to integrate global citizenship into the classroom – not a program
• Sharing of resources, approaches, people & organisations to further develop any aspect of the global citizenship lens 

Residency, Opposed to Consultancy

• Participate in the school & community day-to-day creating greater impact than one-off presentations & consultation
• Play an active role as an effective global citizen, indirectly and significantly adding undiscovered impacts & outcomes

These are a general indication of value for schools engagement but may vary depending on size of school and circumstances

• $400 final report (optional)
• Provide accommodation if needed – hosts preferred, than hotels
• Reimbursement for transport (if needed) typically a return lowest-fare ticket usually from Australia but can be shared among other institutes if visiting them within the same trip. At no cost to you is carbon offset at $30/tonne we pay using Offsetters
