Teaching Materials
Positives
- This resource is an excellent way to show students how we can think about climate in whatever we do.
- The infographic format of these resources makes them easy to read and visually appealing.
Prerequisites
- Teachers will need to enter their email, name, and role to download the guides. They will need to do this for each individual guide. Because of this, teachers may want to print or download the guides instead of having students access them through the website.
- Teachers who need English copies of the guides can find them using this resource.
- Students should be familiar with climate change and its causes and impacts. It may also benefit students to have familiarity with the careers connected to the guides.
Differentiation & Implementation
- Using these guides as inspiration, students can create their own guides for how students in various grades or classes can make climate action part of their job at school.
- There are many guides available, so teachers can have students select one guide to become an expert on and share what they have learned with the class.
- To make language arts connections, students can write a narrative describing a day for someone in one of the available career fields who is taking climate action at work.
- World language instructors teaching French can use these guides to practice content-specific vocabulary acquisition.
- Teachers can post copies of the guides around the room, having students do a gallery walk going from station to station every ten minutes or so. At each station, they can read through the guide, take notes about what stands out, and discuss the guide with the other students at that station.
This resource is a series of sheets for different job titles that each present a checklist of actionable items that advance climate solutions through a career. These sheets are clear and well-organized, and the linked Project Drawdown site features numerous links to industry sources and even some peer-reviewed articles. This resource is recommended for teaching.
