\n\n\n\n1 - Did you identify at least one SDG and\/or SDG Target covered in your module?\u00a0 How is that topic introduced in the context of the wider discipline or societal need?<\/em>\n\n2- Do you inadvertently cover concepts expressed by the SDGs?\u00a0 If so, how could you signpost those topics to increase student understanding of the SDGs and sustainability literacy?\u00a0<\/em>\n\n3 - Do you elaborate on the interconnected nature of the SDGs?\u00a0 Was this used as a gateway to inter- or transdisciplinary discussion?\u00a0 What connections might you design in your course?<\/em>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n4 - Do you cover SDGs from more than one SDG Pillars (economic, social, environment) as displayed in the second graph (triangle)?\u00a0 If so, how do students perceive this relationship? What is valued in your discipline?<\/em>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n5 - How might your further enrich your course with the SDGs such as activities, discussions, group projects, assessments, etc to fulfil course learning outcomes?<\/em>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/openbooks.hdfoundation.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/12\/Screenshot-2023-02-23-at-12.09.17.png\")
\n\nFurther, the mapping tool generates a summary of how the course meets environmental, economic and societal needs. A reminder that not all three are equivalent - <\/span>the Wedding Cake Model from Stockholm Resilience Centre, Stockholm University<\/a> from the previous section demonstrates how environmental considerations are foundational for societal and economic development.<\/span>\nOnce you are done mapping your course, it is time to start building the activities that will help students reflect, share, and act on your chosen SDGs - the next section outlines these options. Review the Main Body<\/a> to navigate directly to a specific SDG.<\/div>\n \n\nThis page was derived from the SDG Curriculum Toolkit\u00a0by\u00a0John Barimo, Catherine O\u2019Mahony, Gerard Mullally, John O\u2019Halloran, Edmond Byrne, Darren Reidy, Maria Kirrane<\/a>\u00a0 licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License <\/a>from https:\/\/www.ucc.ie\/en\/sdg-toolkit\/<\/a>.<\/em>","rendered":"This self-reflection tool<\/a> is designed for further integration of SDGs into your curriculum, assessments, learning outcomes, or other action-oriented pedagogies.<\/p>\n

Use this scale to score each SDG in your course:<\/p>\n
0 = no coverage or unrelated SDG
\n1 = Indirectly related to the SDG
\n2 = Connects the SDG to one’s own discipline
\n3 = Address at least one SDG Target<\/a>
\n4 = Assesses SDG knowledge or skills in relation to learning outcomes
\n5 = Students act to address the SDGs with community or industry partners<\/p>\nThe next step is reflection. This is important for seeking feedback and intentional, iterative course design.
