Discover new ways to help elementary students engage with and understand the world around them by incorporating climate-informed learning into the classroom. This book features foundational climate concepts, easily implementable activity plans, and inspiring examples of student engagement. Each chapter begins with a short vignette pulled from the author's considerable teaching experience in engaging students in concepts of climate change, followed by content-focused sections and recommendations for student activities and projects. The author provides stories of hopeful action to invite teachers to look for and reflect on similar narratives in their own communities, and the book ends with a sample unit of study for each grade level in K-5, showing teachers how key ideas from each chapter come together into an instructional plan that incorporates the three dimensions of NGSS and can fit into the broader outline of their school year. This resource is an accessible tool to support any elementary educator in building their own knowledge base and integrating the important and timely issues of climate change into their classroom.

Tells the story of a group of teachers that engaged in inquiry about their own practice in order to support inquiry learning in their students.
