​Teaching and learning tools for educators

Teachers across BC now have more opportunity to include community in their classrooms: sustainability and place-based learning are core foundations of the BC K-12 curriculum. Metro Vancouver provides classroom-ready resources which support teachers to connect to essential priorities and local sustainability topics while engaging students in inquiry and experiential learning.​
