Tips and examples for aligning this SDG with your class:

Use dialogue to make real life connections between the content and subject you teach and what young people are experiencing regarding the issue.
Use Dialogue as an activity that you come back to at key moments of a project to revisit the topic from various points of view and to reflect. For example, you might want to enter a dialogue on the subject before you teach a project, to help learners get personally connected, then host another dialogue at the end to help them explore what was learned and any new ideas that have come from the experience.
Be sure to allow learners the space to bring their own personal experiences into the conversation and to explore instead of debating an issue.

Subject	Activity ideas
Math	Work with learners to review and tabulate the most recent data on the SDG Tracker to see how the world measures up to the goal indicators for Quality Education. Book a video conference to explore how global peers define and promote quality education.
Sciences	How do environmental factors influence quality education? Have learners anaylse case studies from different regions of the world to examine how environmental factors like climate, water, and terrain impact access to education. Ask them to share their own experience and prepare questions about different environmental factors in various regions of the world in the Education Dialogue Space on the Ultimate Dialogue Adventure.
Social Science	Ask learners to complete the Education topic on the Ultimate Dialogue Adventure to prompt a dialogue. Explore the role and purpose of Education in different societies, then use the Generation Global activities "Sharing our ideas" and "Asking response questions" to prepare for a dialogue about their own ideas for the future of education.
Language Arts	Practice vocabulary regarding Quality Education by listing key words on the topic. Using words from the list, ask learners to write about their own experience of what schooling is like for them and share it in the Education Dialogue Space of the Ultimate Dialogue Adventure.
Personal Development	Work with learners in exploring what conditions they need to experience quality education from a variety of factors (personal, environmental, structural, etc.) and why these are all important to them as individuals and a community. Book a video conference to support learners in dialoguing about what is needed and important to have a good education for different people around the globe.
