Theory of Music online courses now FREE
As a part of efforts to support music education through the COVID-19 outbreak, we're providing FREE online Theory of Music courses. View all the other support on offer here.

Our online courses for Grades 1 to 3 Theory of Music are now free until June 30 from exams.ameb.edu.au. AMEB has made their Theory Courses free for the time being while we all adapt to learning from home and we hope that teachers, parents and students find this a useful resource.
AMEB is a self-funding organisation that relies on exam fees and book sales to fund the activities that we undertake. For that reason, it is not possible to make exams free.

UNAAWA is developing curriculum packages for four phases of schooling based on the UNESCO model for Global Citizenship Education and the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. The packages will feature opportunities for students to:
Integrate learning across different syllabuses
Develop the General Capabilities of Critical and Creative Thinking, Intercultural Understanding, Ethical Understanding, Personal and Social Capability
Collaborate to address challenges related to the 2030 Global Goals
Apply the design process and entrepreneurship skills
Engage in practical activities contributing to community development
The list of educational applications, platforms and resources below aim to help parents, teachers, schools and school administrators facilitate student learning and provide social care and interaction during periods of school closure. Most of the solutions curated are free and many cater to multiple languages. While these solutions do not carry UNESCO’s explicit endorsement, they tend to have a wide reach, a strong user-base and evidence of impact. They are categorized based on distance learning needs, but most of them offer functionalities across multiple categories.
The UN Sustainable Development Goals provide a powerful platform to deliver a fully integrated inquiry and problem-based learning program. This website is designed to support / supplement not only a program of this nature but also the Global Goals Challenge and the UNESCO Global Education First Initiatives.
As well as an extensive collection of resources that relate to the UN Sustainable Development Goals there is also a Digital Passport Challenge which is designed to encourage students to explore the 17 Sustainable Development Goals using a range of technology tools.
As students complete the Challenges they can be awarded digital badges that showcase their learning.
This is a long-term project that will not only teach students about key topics that impact every human being on the planet, but will also help them develop important Transversal Competencies like critical and creative thinking, persistence, and inquiry and problem solving.
