Pedagogical twist

For SDG7 (decent work and economic growth) sheet, our favourite pedagogical twist is:

Multiple exposure: exposing the students to various opportunities over time to learn and engage with new knowledge and skills proves to be effective (Department of Education and Training, 2019). Therefore, complex and extensive topics can be presented to students over time (within a week-time instead in a single lesson) through different activities. In order to ensure effectiveness, the multiple exposures, spaced over time, should be planned in a strategic way (Department of Education and Training, 2019).
This lesson can be spread in different lessons, given the complexity of the topic.
