Building a Sustainable Future: Teachers on the Art of Real-World Instruction

A Word from Jess Burnquist, VP of Impact Education

On International Day of Education, the world celebrates the transformative power of learning. This year, we turn our spotlight to teachers, the architects of inclusive and equitable classrooms that empower students to thrive in the present and become responsible global citizens prepared for the future.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development recognizes education as the cornerstone for achieving all 17 goals. Sustainable Development Goal 4 aims to ensure "inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all." 

But how do we translate this global ambition into real-world action within the walls of our classrooms?
