Education Kit
Cotton Australia has two Education Kits available for students and school classroom teachers: the Cotton Education Kit (digital resource) and the Cotton Sampler Education Pack (physical resource that we can post upon request - to Australian locations only. This is not available for individual home school educators, however, consideration will be given to home schooling hubs/groups that service 15 or more home schooling families).
Whether it is ideas for incorporating cotton contexts in the classroom, great teaching resources, or information for a school project, all you need to know about cotton is right here.
Designed for all teachers and high school students, the 10-chapter digital Cotton Education Kit is linked to dynamic resources such as video, websites, research, and case studies. This kit has been mapped to the Australian Curriculum for Years 7-10, and targeted outcomes for Years 11 -12 from all state & territory curriculums across Australia. A list of themes is provided for teachers at the back of each chapter as a quick guide to assist linking the content to their unit of work or syllabi in their state or territory.
