"Delve into teaching climate change using tools of resiliency, regeneration, and social justice. This six-week course focuses on research-based pedagogy that helps students make sense of accelerating changes in Earth’s climate system and builds emotional health in young learners. Explore climate mitigation and adaptation strategies, ways to address disinformation and doubt, the use of data to model past, present, and future climate, and the benefits of Indigenous worldviews. At the end of the course, learners will be able to incorporate climate change into their curricula using human stories in ways that empower their students to take action.

This online course is asynchronous, giving you the flexibility to complete weekly activities at your own pace. Essays, written by our authoring scientists, are supplemented by case studies, textbook readings, videos, interactive simulations, image galleries, and more. These resources provide the foundation for assignments as well as online discussions where you will exchange questions and ideas with course faculty and other learners. The course culminates in a final project, which is your opportunity to create activities that you can use with your students.”
