Taking Flight

 Taking Flight

If I have learned anything from my time working with middle school students, it is that they have a strong desire for their work to actually matter.  As we continue to develop this new idea of school and what we can do while students are learning in different environments, there are countless opportunities to give students a chance to find some control over their world.  


There are any number of ways in which we can give students a chance to make a difference.  With so many things being out of control, giving kids the ability to take control of something and make a positive change is an important part of helping them to grow.  One of the best ways to give kids ownership over their world is through study and action of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). There are 17 SDGs that provide us with a variety of entry points to find an interest for nearly anyone looking for their work to matter.  

So often we find ideas that are worth sharing with one another. Those ideas are fantastic, but at some point, our ideas need to become more.  It is a need that we have as adults and similarly so do our kids.  We all have a genuine need for our ideas to take flight.  Through the ideas, concerns, and challenges that arise from the SDGs are an amazing idea to enable us to find a foothold in launching an opportunity to
improve the world around us.
