In 2021, the inaugural cohort of Provostial Fellows began a series of year-long projects that would take meaningful action on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs play a central role in the\u00a0University Academic Plan<\/a>, which includes a\u00a0call for the community<\/a>\u00a0to create positive change through the goals.\u00a0 Now that their terms have ended, here is a look back at what the Fellows have achieved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cheryl van Daalen-Smith, who is an associate professor in the School of Gender, Sexuality and Women\u2019s Studies and the Childhood and Youth Studies Program, Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies as well as in the School of Nursing, Faculty of Health is working towards Embedding the SDGs in York curriculum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Daalen-Smith\u2019s\u00a0vision was to collaboratively seek ways to infuse the UN SDGs into interdisciplinary classrooms across the University. Her project \u201cMore than Bees and Trees\u201d sought to inspire and amplify curricular SDG initiatives and advance ¿ì²¥ÊÓƵ\u2019s commitment to interdisciplinarity. Through a community development approach, this Fellowship spawned an SDGs in the Classroom Community of Practice, which continues to grow and add to the more than 60 educators who are involved from across the University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Members of the community of practice thought that a toolkit would help further realize van Daalen-Smith\u2019s vision. Two community members,\u00a0Tracy Bhoola, an instructor at YUELI, and\u00a0Nitima Bhatia, a PhD student and research assistant, took the lead in creating content for the\u00a0SDGs-in-the-Classroom Toolkit<\/a>\u00a0website. Through diligent leadership, this interdisciplinary resource is now available to educators both within ¿ì²¥ÊÓƵ and around the world, further supporting the University\u2019s commitment to open access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SDGs-in-the-Classroom Community of Practice also brought together University partners and stakeholders who were engaged on the UN SDGs. The group listened to members who had already found some success with integrating the SDGs in classrooms\u00a0and to students who shared who would share their learning experiences and recommendations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

York\u2019s list of UN SDG Curricular Champions<\/a> were identified among instructors who had found innovative ways of connecting the SDGs to diverse interdisciplinary topics, concepts and disciplines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the first-ever\u00a0SDGs in the Classroom Teach-In<\/a>\u00a0was hosted in conjunction with the Teaching Common\u2019s Annual Teaching in Focus conference, on May 10, drawing together 90 national and global registrants. The session hosted panel discussions, drop-in live coaching sessions and interactions with curricular champions and toolkit creators. With a vibrant, three-year\u00a0Academic Innovation Fund<\/a>\u00a0grant now underway, the work of this Fellowship will continue to be led by School of Nursing Assistant Professor\u00a0Sandra Peniston<\/strong>,\u00a0with a myriad of interdisciplinary instructors guiding the development of simulations, apps, games, and other ways to continue to bring the \u201cwicked problems\u201d addressed by the SDGs into York\u2019s classrooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
