Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here!
Educators of grades preK-16 can make a pivotal contribution to the success of the global movement for a just and sustainable future. We can do so by giving our students a great education that prepares them to thrive in the challenging world they’re growing into and to shape that world as leaders for climate justice.
Teach for Climate Justice: A Vision for Transforming Education offers a compelling argument for what that education needs to be. It’s not a curriculum. Most needed now is an inspiring vision to inform and guide educators in stepping back, taking a clear look at our predicament, and rethinking how best to serve our students and the planet.
The aim of the Teach for Climate Justice website is to support the building of a powerful national movement of educators, students, parents, and community members. Join us! The website will offer
an ever-expanding array of teaching activities and resources
tools for organizing support for climate justice education in your school, including a guide for organizing and facilitating Teach for Climate Justice reading circles
a monthly blog
climate education news and reports from the field
notices of workshops and webinars by myself and others
opportunities for you to share your ideas, triumphs, and challenges with a growing network of like-minded educators.
Warmly, Tom Roderick
