Become a Climate Classroom
Any educator can make climate a class and inspire their students to use the skills of their profession to advance climate justice! Our partners have resources for teachers in all subject areas to engage with climate solutions.
Explore the following list of activities to engage your students. Our partners have materials appropriate for K-12 or Higher Education students. To commit to your pledge, add your climate classroom to the Map.
Once you have registered as a participant in this year’s movement, you will get a monthly reminder to record any climate conversations your class has held. Depending how many climate conversations you host- you will receive a Certified Climate Classroom certificate for your class!
Class Examples
RICE ELEMENTARY - ROSEMEAD, CALIFORNIA
Teacher Vesta Namiranianbe read the book, "We are Water Protectors,” to her 3rd grade dual-language Spanish class. The students were then tasked with analyzing the symbolism portrayed in the story, which sparked a conversation about the impact of the "black snake" and oil pipelines on historically marginalized communities.
