New educational resources bring local government to life
The new resources have everything teachers need to bring local government to life in the classroom, including engaging videos, posters, interactive worksheets, customizable templates, and so much more!
Teachers can guide students through lesson plans, using videos and fact sheets, helping them explore the history, role and distinct responsibilities of councils.
What’s inside
- Comprehensive teaching unit: Australian curriculum-aligned unit covering civics and citizenship, complete with ready-to-go lesson plans, worksheets, and a plethora of supporting materials.
- Engaging posters: Uncover the what, how, and who of local government in SA through bright and engaging posters.
- Video series: Explore a four-part series that demystifies local government, covering everything from elections to how young people can get involved.
- Inspirational profiles: Meet the diverse 'Faces of Local Government' across our councils, and discover their passions, roles and tips for young people looking to make a difference.
