Teacher Tools

We know teachers have a lot to do…especially this year. So, we are sharing some great, ready-to-go lesson plans here that will allow you to incorporate Speech Up! into your curriculum. These videos and associated lesson plans were created by reliable sources, and provide great options for busy teachers.

• Check out this great video lesson (distance learning-friendly!) focused on the UN’s education goal and encouraging students to think about how they would redesign the education system…PERFECT food for thought for their Speech Up! video.

• Give your students a good background in how access to a quality education varies around the world with this video lesson.

• If you want to do an entire lesson focused on the UN’s Global Sustainability Goals, check out The Worlds Largest Lesson for awesome tools. Perhaps particularly useful this year, their tools include a short distance learning-friendly module.

• This set of lesson tools may be for a slightly younger audience, but it does include a fun mix of videos, games, and more that might liven up your lessons.

• This set of lessons from PBS focuses more broadly on the United Nations and is geared for 9-12 history, government, social studies, and civics classes. It explicitly ties the material to a range of Common Core standards.

• You may also want to check out our Student Tools list, which includes some of these same resources but also several new options with a particular focus on identifying current obstacles to education students may want to propose solutions to.

• There are so many more great resources out there! Need help finding something? Let us know!
