Cornell Cooperative Extension of Tompkins County, the Sciencenter and the Center for Climate Change Education at PRI are offering a half day event focused on climate education. We're bringing a bit of Climate Week to Ithaca!
Come join us to access resources for teaching about climate change that are locally-relevant and grade specific. This professional development workshop will include something for teachers at every grade level and across all disciplines! Informal educators are welcome too!
Climate Education is relevant in every discipline: recent ELA Regents Exams now include climate change-related topics; climate and energy are also Social Studies issues that cannot be deeply understood without Mathematics; Health topics will increasingly be about the dangers we face; and the Arts are an effective way to communicate about climate change. Also, the NYSSLS standards infuse more climate topics into science across all grades and science disciplines.
The day will begin with What I'd Teach About Climate Change if I Only Had an Hour with PRI’s Don Haas. The session is appropriate for all grade levels and subject areas. The opening workshop will be followed by a Resource Fair offering climate-connected resources, information, and activity ideas presented by the organizations listed below.
