Want to teach climate justice in your course and creatively design your own lesson in collaboration with other faculty? This learning community is perfect for faculty who have never taught climate justice or civic engagement in a course and who struggle to see how to do so! This small year-long learning community* will meet for two hours each quarter synchronously on Zoom, plus one five-hour workshop spread over two days during which you will create your climate justice lesson. Prior to the workshop and each quarterly meeting, you will have one to two hours of readings or videos to watch that will emphasize social injustices exacerbated by climate change, help you generate ideas for meaningful yet manageable civic engagement for students in your course, and highlight the importance of sharing positive stories of change with your students. During the quarterly meetings, you will have discussions with colleagues and work time to continue brainstorming and refining the draft lesson created during the workshop.
20 PD Hours, $1000 stipend
4 seats maximum (one two-hour meeting per quarter, year-long commitment from Spring 2025 through Spring 2026)
Meeting days and times will be determined by group consensus once instructors have registered.
Meetings will be facilitated by Sonya Doucette.
If you are interested and have questions, don’t hesitate to contact Sonya Doucette (sonya.doucette@bellevuecollege.edu).
*This synchronous remote (Zoom) learning community curriculum was created, refined, and revised over three years by community college faculty and for community college faculty
