The climate crisis threatens our students' lives. And yet, throughout the United States, schools have failed to put the climate at the center of the curriculum.
To address this gulf between the climate emergency and schools' inadequate response, our
Zinn Education Project (coordinated by Rethinking Schools and Teaching for Change) has launched a
campaign to
Teach Climate Justice.
The campaign provides
classroom-tested lessons, workshops for educators, and a sample school board climate justice resolution.
Please use these lessons and additional recommended materials, send us your teaching stories, and spread the word on social media (
#TeachClimateJustice).
The climate crisis is not going away. That means that teaching for climate justice is work we all need to do. Join us.
