Intrinsically motivated students are able to deeply involve themselves in a task whilst feeling a sense of enjoyment (Baranek. 1996). Im hoping my students will take pride in what they create, allowing them to feel a sense of personal achievement when its complete. #UoNTeach

There is direct correlation between higher achievement and motivation in students supported by their family and #community (NEA. 2008). #Upcycling donated waste materials from local businesses could inspire students to create insane outfits such as this one! #UoNTeach

This mariachi outfit was made out of coffee bean sacks from Guatemala and embellished with key chain holders. The hat was made out of the same material with Elmer's glue to maintain its shape. The rim of the hat is embellished with soda can tabs. #r2rhouston

Through further research into a #waste free fashion show I came across the idea to charge a donation entry fee. This money will then be used to buy more #sustainable products for the school. To effectively give the school a more #sustainable future what would you buy?#UoNTeach

Vygotsky (1962) emphasises on the positive effect social environments have on learning processes. My unit project asks students to collaboratively design clothing from waste materials to be presented to the school community and special guests to fight the #waronwaste. #UoNTeach

A #waste audit identifies types of waste found in a school, where it comes from and how it can be reduced. @rumbalara_eec link multiple KLA's into their waste audits. Creating an awesome educational opportunity whilst ensuring a more #sustainable future for the school. #UoNTeach

Jess French's (2019) novel 'What A Waste' allows teachers to introduce the topic of #sustainability in a contextual environment. This makes processing the content easier, using meaningful real world problems with the inclusions of global/local perspectives (Baker. 2009).#UoNTeach

8.3 billion tonnes of plastic has been produced since the 1950s. 91% of plastic has been dumbed in the #environment, landfills and the ocean (Parker. 2018). With 8 million tonnes of plastic entering the ocean a year, do you think the 9% that has been #recycled is enough?#UoNTeach

My unit of work will follow ACARA's (2016) three key concepts of #sustainability. This will allow #globalperspectives to be incorporated into local community action. Modelling how the Australian #education system can strive for a more sustainable future (Dyment.J. 2014).#UoNTeach

Collecting lids to exchange for wheelchairs! If this isn't enough incentive to #recycle I don't know what is. Getting a school #community around a campaign like this would be an incredible way to reduce #waste and help someone in need. #sustainability #UoNTeach

Instituto 4 Elementos carries out a solid waste management project on 39 "campi" of the University of Goias. The Project consists of the collection of recyclable materials, mainly plastic and metallic lids that are exchanged for wheelchairs. #instituto4elementos #HLPF2018

What a great #ICT resource to introduce and acknowledge the #waronwaste Australia is facing. With lots of visual stimulus and engaging dialogue this resource would be a great way to start discussions of how student's can manage their waste #sustainably (NESA. 2015). #UoNTeach

As a teacher modelling #sustainable living choices in a school setting is a must. With students spending upwards of 30 hours a week surrounded by teachers, it is our duty to guide the future generations to fight for the #waronwaste in their local environments #UoNTeach

#Recycling plastic bottles to create boardshorts! Such a cool initiative from @billabong1973. Designing an art lesson based around students creating items of clothing from #recycled plastics would be great for building upon their commitment to #sustainable practises. #UoNTeach

Utilising @NatGeo’s explorer classroom program, students can ask live direct questions to explorers around the world! Gaining knowledge and understanding of sustainability on a #globalperspective and directly relate it to their own local area. #UoNTeach nationalgeographic.org/educa…

With #HarmonyDay just passing, teachers around Australia should be jumping on this great opportunity to recognise and celebrate the #CulturalDiversity seen within their local community. Invite an Elder, or just let your students share their own personal experiences #UoNTeach
