Course author: Professor Mark Windschitl
How can you help students understand the science of climate change using data and models while inspiring them to explore solutions and take meaningful action?
Delve into teaching climate change using tools of resiliency, regeneration, and social justice. This six-week course focuses on research-based pedagogy that helps students make sense of accelerating changes in Earth’s climate system and builds emotional health in young learners. Explore climate mitigation and adaptation strategies, ways to address disinformation and doubt, the use of data to model past, present, and future climate, and the benefits of Indigenous worldviews. At the end of the course, learners will be able to incorporate climate change into their curricula using human stories in ways that empower their students to take action.
