Illinois Climate Change Education Workshop Series

Comprehensive climate change education means understanding climate science, current research demonstrating local changes and impacts and an understanding of how to effectively share that information with students. This workshop series will provide Illinois formal and non-formal educators that work with elementary through high school students all of the information, tools, resources and curriculum support they need to implement comprehensive climate change education.

Elementary/Middle School Climate Change Curriculum Workshop

May 11th - 4:30pm - 6:30pm CST;

High School Climate Change Curriculum Workshop

May 10th and 11th - Climate Change Curriculum Workshops

Join Climate Generation staff for one of two 2-hour workshops featuring key aspects of climate change education. In these workshops educators will use Climate Generation’s Minnesota’s Changing Climate curriculum to explore concrete examples of how to bring climate change into both formal and nonformal settings in a context localized to Illinois. Each of the two workshops will feature lessons and activities for connecting climate change to explorations of the natural history of plants and animals through observation and journal writing. The May 10th workshop will highlight elementary and middle school techniques and resources, and May 11th will focus on high school. Educators will leave with practical climate change activities to incorporate into their educational experiences and links to download Climate Generation’s free curricular resources.
