We hope that more schools will dedicate themselves to the importance of Education for Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship (UNSDG Target 4.7), and will have the systems, tools, and insights to engage in this critically pertinent global endeavour.

About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

Many schools have a mission around creating global citizens and students who contribute to a better future, but few have systems to ensure that this is happening, and globally there were no open-sources tools to monitor progress or identify next steps along this journey. Our tool helps schools begin the journey, collect evidence over time, gain insights into next steps, and set future goals.

What does your innovation look like in practice?

Our innovation is an open-source self-assessment tool that where participants respond to prompts about their institution. A report is then created with suggestions for next steps and a Likert scale to track their progress. Administrators and school stakeholders can then use this innovation to set strategic plan goals, set implementation goals, monitor progress over time, prepare for accreditations, and use a data-based approach to better lead education for global citizenship, sustainable development, and service learning and community engagement.

How has it been spreading?

It has been spreading through conferences, workshops, social media posts, word of mouth referral, and sharing through educational publications.
