"The education of even a small child, therefore, does not aim at preparing him for school, but for life."

- Maria Montessori

If teachers are preparing their learners for life then they need to engage them with life and the world in which they live. Our children will grow up and they will become the stewards of the earth. How we engage them today will determine the future.

Julia Fliss is a 6th grade English Language Arts teacher at Evergreen Middle School in Evergreen, Colorado. She believes in challenging her students to look out the window of her classroom and see themselves as global citizens who are aware of the world in which they live and their obligation to it by integrating the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) as a framework for her classroom. Julia is a 2019-2020 TeachSDG Ambassador and she actively engages on Twitter. You can follow her at @juliafliss.

In this episode I learn how Julia challenges her students to find their passions, discover a purpose, and make a difference in the world by taking them beyond the curriculum.
