K-12 Engagement

K-12 Engagement & SDG Curriculum Development Action Group

The K-12 Action Group works to advance K-12 education on the SDGs and their impact on the RCE Greater Atlanta community through an equity and justice lens by:

1) identifying existing formal, non-formal, and informal education programs related to sustainability education and the SDGs
2) sharing existing curricula and materials through a common platform
3) developing additional curricula to fill gaps.

Our work together so far has revealed that there are quite a few programs that already exist – but people rarely know about each other’s programs. By bringing these together, we can partner together to have a greater impact.
