Teacher Planning Discussion >
Hello from Varazdin, Croatia
My name is Marko Safran and I’m a first-time participant in ISCFC. I teach Biology as a part of our national high school curriculum and at the same time I’m one of the teachers that teach Biology and ESS in the IB Diploma Programme. Some of my colleagues had already participated in previous ISCFC challenges and they shared only positive impressions with me about this project.
Because of that, I decided to participate in the November ISCFC with students from my ESS class. We have already discussed the concepts of Ecological overshoot and Ecological footprint as a way of measuring our impact on the environment. Later we will use data collected from this challenge as a source of arguments for discussion/debate during our Human pollution & resource use lessons.
Great to welcome you and your students to the challenge, Marko! I'm looking forward to hearing some of the results of your discussion/debates posted in this forum.
