Stewardship, Data Tools, & Lesson Support
All teachers are welcome on the third Thursday of the month to join the Teaching Climate Change working group for lesson support, data tools, inspiring stewardship stories, and more!
Teaching Climate Change Working Group
Welcome to the Teaching Climate Change Working Group—a collaborative community for educators committed to helping students understand, question, and take informed action on the defining environmental challenges of our time. This group brings together teachers from across the country who want to deepen their knowledge of climate science, explore effective classroom strategies, and create learning experiences that empower students to think critically about the planet’s future.
Whether you teach Earth Science, Environmental Science, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, or broader interdisciplinary courses, this working group offers a dynamic space to explore the science, systems, and stories behind climate change. Together, we’ll unpack instructional resources, examine real-world data, and experiment with strategies that support climate literacy, resilience, and problem-solving across grade levels.
What You’ll Experience
Collaborative Exploration
Dive into climate concepts, case studies, and instructional strategies that connect directly to classroom practice.
