Education Resources for a Better World

Hey, we're Cool.org!

But you might know us as Cool Australia (we've been creating resources for Aussie teachers for over 13 years). While our name has changed, our mission hasn't. Our real-world, curriculum-aligned teaching resources equip educators to teach the stuff that matters, creating better outcomes for humanity.

How does it work?

It's completely free to create a Cool.org account, and with this you can grab a whole lot of great free lesson plans, activities and professional learning courses. You also have the option to upgrade to a Cool+ subscription. For less than $3 per week you get unlimited access to our full catalogue of resources.
