Want to teach climate justice in your course, but not sure how and don’t have time to create the teaching materials? We’ve got you covered! Thirty climate justice lessons that include civic engagement and positive stories of change already exist in an online database. These lessons were created by your colleagues in Geology, Biology, Botany, Meteorology, Physics, Math, Environmental Science, Chemistry, English, Communication Studies, and Psychology. Each lesson includes learning outcomes, assessment information, all teaching materials and resources, and a lesson plan along with teaching notes and tips.
How to sign up:
Browse the database to find a lesson that you want to use in a course that you are teaching in Spring quarter.
Recruit one to two other colleagues from your discipline who want to teach that lesson or a different lesson from the database in the same or a similar course in Spring quarter.
Sign up to convene a faculty mentoring network with these one to two other colleagues.

Your faculty mentoring network will meet bi-monthly to provide a discipline-specific and supportive space in which you can work together on implementing a climate justice lesson in each of your courses and help each other out during challenging parts of lesson implementation. You will also hold each other accountable to ensure that lessons actually get taught in Spring quarter! After you teach your lesson, you can reflect together on the successes and challenges you experienced. Bimonthly meetings will occur synchronously on Zoom during Weeks 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11 of Spring quarter and will be arranged to meet participants’ Spring quarter schedules at the beginning of the quarter.
