Reading, then devising questions based on the readings

In class you will be evaluating some case studies: Types of teaching; school systems; and ways of learning. To make the evaluation easier you need questions to guide you. To prepare for the class, you are to write sample questions on this Padlet and the class will agree which ones will be used.

Read The United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 4 and its targets: http://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/education/
Then read the La Trobe University's definition and goals for Sustainability Thinking: http://www.latrobe.edu.au/ltlt/resource-library/sources-archived/essentials-quick-guide-for-sustainability-thinking

Based on these two sources, what questions could guide you to evaluate the different educational practices you are examining? For example, based on the target in UN goal 4, a question could be:
"Can education be universally free and equitable?"
