Mission: SubjectToClimate (StC) is a free platform with teacher-designed lesson plans, curated resources, and professional development opportunities to enable all K-12 educators to easily integrate climate change into what they already teach. Our mission is to empower all educators to easily and effectively teach about climate change, justice, and action.
Geographic areas served: the United States (nationwide and in CA, CT, ME, MI, NJ, NY, OR, and WI)
Programs: Our core platform includes:
- A teaching resource library where we curate materials, align them to teaching standards, and enrich them with synopses, teaching tips, and scientist notes
- Teacher-designed materials that show educators how to integrate climate change into what they already teach
- News articles for students that can be differentiated by reading level through our partnership with The Juice
- Professional development opportunities such as courses, guides, or webinars on climate change basics and teaching methods, including SubjectToClimate's 3-part climate education training modules
- ClimateSocrates, an interactive support center developed in partnership with MIT Environmental Solutions Initiative, that answers questions about climate science and pedagogical strategies
- Guidance for school boards and administrators looking to scale climate change education in their schools
We enhance a state's environmental education efforts by coordinating cooperation and unified action among various education partners, adapting our core platform to facilitate place-based learning, and providing training for educators. Specifically, we:
- Convene committees composed of educators, nonprofit representatives, government agencies, and climate stakeholders within a state to provide feedback, ensuring that the Hub addresses local educational needs and climate issues effectively
- Customize our core platform to suit local contexts and enable place-based learning by building a unique website, aligning our teaching resource library with the state's educational standards, and sourcing location-specific resources and professional development opportunities
- Spread awareness and provide professional development to educators to integrate place-based climate change into their classroom
- Work with educators within the state to publish exemplar place-based, locally focused lesson plans
