Organized by Institute for Global Learning in partnership with the Klingenstein Center and hosted at Teachers College, Columbia University, this summit will provide school leaders and educators the opportunity to build community, to share and collaborate, and to learn from scholars and leaders in the field of climate education.
Educators in a variety of positions, from across grade levels and disciplines, will share how they intentionally embed student action in their learning design, and participants in this summit will learn from these case studies as well as emerging research in the field of climate education. Schools will leave with new ideas and resources on how to engage students in myriad ways from civic and political engagement to partnering with local artists, immersive learning experiences, and school-wide sustainability programs. Participants will also be able to connect and collaborate with each other as they consider future opportunities for their schools.
Our diverse range of summit sessions address programs and initiatives that focus on developing student leadership and learning around climate issues, including immersive learning, climate action projects, and partnerships.
