Presidio's K12 Free Climate Education Courses
Abstract: Presidio Graduate School's Climate Education for All program has a mission of providing all teachers with the climate literacy skills and tools they need to educate the next generation on climate change science, causes, and solutions. Our current offerings include three free online, facilitated teacher professional development courses: Teaching Climate Change Essentials, Teaching Extreme Weather, and Teaching Climate Justice. Our hope is that, through this presentation, we canbuild partnerships within the CLEAN network to help spread the word about the program to educators.
In this session, we'll review the need and our approach to bringing climate change and climate justice professional development to teachers, share our current offerings, discuss ideas to help spread the word about the program, and collaborate on way to meet the current professional development needs of teachers.
