Climate change can be a daunting subject to teach about and discuss in the classroom: not only is it a complex issue to understand and address, it can also feel heavy, leaving both students and educators with difficult thoughts and emotions. This workshop will dive into strategies, techniques, and activities for teaching about climate change which aim to leave both educators and students feeling as equipped as possible to face and work through the issue. Since climate change is holistic, this workshop will benefit educators from all subject matters and all grades.
This workshop assumes you already have a good understanding of climate change knowledge basics. If you are interested in this workshop but feel like you could use more background on the issue, please consider also attending “Climate Change 101”.
