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, the Zinn Education Project is launching a campaign to Teach Climate Justice on Earth Day 2019. 

We offer  18 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.

Stories from the classroom can inform and inspire more teachers to use lessons on climate justice. We invite you to share your story. Selected responses will be posted at the Zinn Education Project website.  We will send you a free book in appreciation for your teaching story  about any of the climate justice lessons.

As a result of grassroots organizing,  the Portland, Oregon, school
board passed a sweeping "climate justice" resolution .
