TARGET AUDIENCE: GRADE 1-6 TEACHERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND

Whether you teach grade 1 or grade 6, understanding what climate change means for Calgarians provides a rich, real and authentic opportunity to teach in a conceptual way. Climate change is something that impacts each of us, and that each of us can relate to and do something about!

In this learning series, climate action education will provide a context for engaging with concepts and developing conceptual understanding. Each of the core subjects, in each of the elementary grades, have learning outcomes that relate to core concepts of climate action - for example: reciprocity, connectedness, systems, wellness, citizenship, or change. This series will provide opportunity to design, test and reflect on learning for students that impacts our world in wonderful ways.

 

In this series we will support you in:

  • growing your foundational understanding of the science and social dimensions of climate change through exploring the City of Calgary’s Climate Resiliency Strategy
  • identifying the learning outcomes you teach that provide opportunities for students to understand themselves as champions of the climate and proactive agents in the creation of a more sustainable future
  • creating learning opportunities for your students that build conceptual understanding and support their ability to act as stewards of the environment.
  • exploring how Indigenous perspectives and ways of knowing can strengthen students’ understanding of their connectedness to Mother Earth.
