Participants will engage with a unit on climate change designed to be
localized. They will use tools to brainstorm local anchoring phenomena and ways
to make the unit relevant for their students, community, and teaching context.
All materials are freely available.
TAKEAWAYS:
Climate change units should help students understand the impacts they are experiencing and prepare them to participate in solutions. Localizing students’ climate learning is one way to do that. Storyline design tools and resources can support teachers in developing this kind of localized learning.
