Getting started
This is a self-paced course (all lessons are pre-recorded) so you can start whenever you want and do it at your own pace.
Each week contains a presentation (with teacher and parent notes), corresponding activity worksheets and educational lesson videos to guide you.
Create a 'Be the Change' folder in Canva so you can store all your weekly lessons, presentations and worksheets in one place.
We suggest creating a folder for each week.
