- Single and multi-day workshops to increase climate literacy of educators through hands-on place-based activities featuring Climate Generation’s curriculum materials.
- Year-round climate change education support providing high quality professional learning opportunities and resources to increase educator confidence and self efficacy in climate change education.
- Single and multi-day working groups to develop a place-based climate change curriculum modeled from Climate Generation’s Minnesota’s Changing Climate (MCC) to other states
Current Project
Minnesota Climate Change Educator Community of Practice
Climate Generation is offering 10 Minnesota educators a paid opportunity to participate in a climate change education community of practice during January- April of 2024. Whether you’re new to climate change education or have been practicing for years, this opportunity can help you increase the hours and depth at which you teach climate change and build long-lasting relationships with fellow educators.
Examples of Our Work
We facilitated two workshops centered around quality climate change education practices featuring our Minnesota’s Changing Climate curriculum for formal and nonformal educators from Illinois. Educators explored concrete examples of how to adapt the Minnesota’s Changing Climate curriculum to Illinois.
We facilitated hybrid training to a group of ten interdisciplinary teachers for junior and senior grades at School of Environmental Students in Apple Valley, Minnesota. Educators participated in a series of listening calls and workshops geared toward integrating climate change education and project-based education into their curricula.
We facilitated four virtual training sessions with the middle school department to support Wardlaw and Hartridge School’s implementation of an interdisciplinary Climate Change Week. Educators took part in listening sessions, interactive workshops, and individual lesson plan coaching in order to create a week’s worth of climate change lessons in their subject area.
We worked with Lowell School for two years to design, implement, and assess a plan for integrating climate change across the sixth grade humanities curriculum. Students demonstrated an increase in understanding of all topics and increased engagement in the content matter.
