CT COLT is excited to present a series of five webinars for the 2024-2025 school year, themed "Connecting Our World Through Sustainable Development Goals."
We’re continuing our series with the second session “Empower Gen Z with Action: Motivating students with UN SDGs” featuring Lea Graner Kennedy. Lea is an accomplished instructional leader in World Languages, with experience as a teacher, administrator, and consultant. She works with K-12 students and K-16 educators to enhance curriculum, assessment, and instruction, ensuring access to high-quality language programs aligned with World-Readiness Standards, Social Justice Standards, and UN Sustainable Development Goals. Lea is passionate about leading curriculum development and providing engaging, research-based professional learning that empowers teachers to grow in their practice using high-leverage teaching strategies.
Session abstract:
Explore units connected to UN SDGs that empower students to become multilingual, global citizens that make an impact.
