Middle Years introduction to the challenge mindset using UN SDGs to explore careers that make a difference.
Growing up, Evie Ruddy didn’t quite feel like a girl, or a boy, and resisted gendered expectations. Only recently, with the growing awareness of non-binary identities, did Evie move toward a more androgynous gender performance and begin using they/them pronouns. Un/tied Shoes tells the story of how gender conventions have impacted Evie’s life, with footwear as markers along the way.
Un/tied is presented as an online shoe company, but visitors expecting to browse the latest styles will instead find a first-person account of self-actualization and contesting categorization. Thanks to gendered fashion industry conventions, buying shoes and clothes that reflect their identity has been a lifelong challenge for Evie. Framing their story as an online shopping experience underscores the hardship many non-binary and transgender people face trying to reflect their gender identity in their outward appearance. It’s an everyday illustration of the deep-rooted mores and social codes that determine who can wear what, and in which circumstances.
With Evie as our guide, Un/tied invites us to step into a future with more options, fewer labels, and shoes that come in all sizes, for all people.

I created this assessment for students to self explore throughout the year, and continue to learn about themselves through all activities we encountered throughout the term. This assessment is called Brand Yourself Motto and Logo. Students get a chance to express who they are by branding themselves with a logo and a motto. This assignment encouraged individuals to truly look at all the dimensions of wellness and how they connect to them individually, students can use an array of methods to showcase their logo or motto. I hooked most of the students by showcasing popular brands and their mottos like Nike, Addias, Tim Hortons, McDonalds, we then discussed why their mottos and logos worked so well and triggered great conversation about marketing and the effects of marketing on individuals wellness
