Through this fast paced session, teachers will access the tools that they need to create a foundation for elementary, middle, and high school students’ understanding of climate resilience and climate justice, against the backdrop of climate change. Increase student engagement through student-created climate action plans or access grant funds for student-driven projects that can be used to cultivate sustainability and resilience on your campus and in your school neighborhood.
About the Climate Resilience Lessons
Each lesson activates students’ curiosity, compassion, prior knowledge, and critical thinking to explore how people and groups in their own community and around the world are affected by climate change and how they are addressing climate change through just and resilient collective action.
In the lessons for elementary grades, students consider the ways in which people are impacted differently by weather emergencies and how we can help each other when weather emergencies occur. The middle- and high-school lessons help students consider how community climate resilience can be fostered and built up.
