Climate & Environmental Science Bootcamp (PL for Teachers; 30CTLE)

🚨THIS JUST IN: In collaboration with students, educators, NGO partners, lawmakers, and many of you, the New York State Board of Regents approved a historic new statewide K-12 instructional requirement for climate education! This will ensure that students are given the opportunity to learn about the causes, impacts, and solutions to the climate crisis. The requirement will go into effect in the 2027-2028 school year beginning with grades 5-12 and grades K-4 in the 2028-29 school year (read more about it here) and STEMteachersNYC is here to support YOU with our Interdisciplinary Climate & Environmental Science Bootcamp.This 5-day interdisciplinary workshop will explore active learning strategies for deepening understanding of crucial climate and climate related concepts that will empower students of any age, in any subject area. Throughout the week, you will engage in thought-provoking, classroom-tested, hands-on activities and discussions. You will spend time observing instruction from the point of view of a student (“student-mode”), and unpacking those experiences in “teacher-mode” to better understand how to empower your students.Walk away with cutting-edge, standards-aligned content spanning science and the humanities, helping to answer, ‘What should we teach students?” as well as a new toolkit of teacher moves to help answer, “How should we teach students?” By the end of the week, you will be prepared to support students and colleagues alike as we transition into a climate education future. Join a growing community of front-line educators who understand the importance of truth, action, and resilience.
