We've developed a series of online learning resources, to support the virtual delivery of the ResourceSmart Schools program.

These online learning resources are not exclusive to those involved in the program, but available for all teachers who would like to incorporate sustainability into student learning.

What’s on offer

Active learning videos for students

Pre-recorded 20-minute video presentations, which prepare students for a self-guided activity to follow.

These videos can be watched:

  • on our website in the video library below
  • during a live session where students can ask questions and interact with presenters.

Presentations differ with exclusive content by year level.

Topics include:

  • water
  • waste
  • biodiversity
  • energy.

Professional development for teachers

A series of training sessions for teachers looking to learn more about the ResourceSmart Schools program, or how they can embed sustainability into their school or classroom. These presentations can be watched:

  • on our website in the video library below
  • in a live session where teachers can ask questions and interact with delivery partners.

Climate dialogue sessions

On Friday’s, we talk climate change with a range of topical experts and special guests. Join into the live sessions where you can ask questions and be part of the discussion. Offline videos will only be uploaded after the live sessions.

Climate dialogue sessions are open for all audiences and year levels.

How it works

Video library

Each Wednesday up until the end of Term 2, we will upload new videos for students and teachers.

From 1 June 2020, we added on-demand videos for the following:

Live sessions

We will also run live Q&A sessions, until the end of term 2. These sessions will be co-facilitated by the RSS team. During a live session, students and teachers can watch an episode from our video library and engage in a real time Q&A with presenters.

Live sessions are conducted through Microsoft Teams Live Events. You won’t need any special software to access these, simply follow the link. The link will only work during the live session time. You can copy and paste the link to give others access.

N.B. The video software used adheres to child safety standards.
