Quick update from Ohio \u2013 I requested a professional development to work with the Education Outreach Coordinator at The Byrd Polar Climate and Research Center (Ohio State) to continue curriculum development for Honors Climate Change. It was great! Curriculum is coming along!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Also, audited our AP English 11 here as they cover the Unit 5 Environment non-fiction curriculum. My goal is to integrate more opportunities to increase scientific literacy in the Honors Climate Change curriculum. In AP English 11, students read classic essays by Rachel Carson, speculative analysis articles by Bill McKibben, and poems by Ralph Waldo Emerson. They even discuss “how to talk about climate change” referencing Katherine Hayhoe and cultivating hope in a state of constant climate crisis (i.e. wildfires in LA, polar vortex, etc.).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

My students and I started “Trout in the Classroom” this month. More than 50 eggs are developing right in front\u00a0of my students’ eyes! I’m continuing my work with APES teacher development for the school district; l accepted a consultant position with College Board supporting APES teacher development.I’m working to incorporate more climate anxiety and environmental justice into the curriculum.\u00a0 Tried to start a club but it did not hold together due to scheduling\u00a0conflicts.<\/p>\n\n\n

Hello, I’m thrilled to share and promote a CAEE eeCourse<\/a> I have developed and written for people like you. It is offered 3 times a year with the winter\/spring term starting this month. This new course is a foundational intro\/survey to what climate literacy is as defined by the brand new federal 2024 Climate Literacy guide<\/a>. I want to recommend it as a prerequisite for anyone who educates, communicates, or makes decisions about climate in their civic or work contexts across North America (and beyond perhaps). It’s not a ‘how to teach’ climate literacy course; that’s the focus of the Educating for Climate Action and Justice: Guidelines for Excellence<\/a> training on August 22 in Denver Colorado hosted by CAEE and many other upcoming trainings from EE affiliates around the country. Please register today and expand your understanding of Climate Literacy Essential Principles: how we know, climate change, causes, impacts, equity, adaptation, mitigation, hope and urgency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n–Sarah R.
