Climate Action by Curriculum Development
Science-based knowledge of climate action and climate justice +
Practical knowledge of teaching and education
Our approach
We are two educators engaging in climate action and environmental justice through climatizing curriculum for all disciplines. Our goal and hope is to empower students to tackle the greatest challenge of their generation — climate change — through the development of interdisciplinary fluency, hands-on skills, and community engagement. As a team, we assist you by providing pedagogically sound workshops, accessible resources, and step-by-step guidance in the creation or modification of climatized lessons, course outlines, and programs. Let us help you tap into your faculty’s expertise, grow their curricular ideas, and climatize curriculum for the good of our students and our planet.

“Thank you for our flex day session.
I’ve been feeling so siloed on campus, and this opportunity to visit a community garden and talk to like-minded colleagues about collaborations to help our students made me feel like I was part of a community again.”
