Learning about climate change Promoting understanding, resilience and commitment to justice

Teaching about climate change represents a comprehensive NGSS-aligned approach to climate change education that builds in-depth knowledge of the topic, empowers students, and promotes social justice thinking. In this empowering and inspiring work, Mark Windschitl guides classroom teachers and educational leaders through an ambitious multilevel, multidisciplinary framework for climate change education as an integral part of the school curriculum.  Exuding hope for the future, Windschitl emphasizes the big picture of research-based climate change education. It presents real-life classroom examples that illustrate not only key STEM concepts such as carbon cycles and the greenhouse effect, biodiversity and sustainability, but also broader issues including combating misinformation, decarbonizing solutions, focusing on human stories, and promoting equity and environmental justice.
