Project WILD's
Climate & Wildlife |
Dig Deeply Into the Science
Students deserve to have a scientific understanding of climate change based on observing and examining lines of evidence. Although standards may fragment climate change concepts, an interdisciplinary approach and systems thinking is needed. |
Explore Disproportionate Impacts
Climate change affects some communities more than others. Use local phenomena to study disproportionate impacts and to examine why vulnerable populations are impacted. Structured Academic Controversy is a way to teach students how to think, not what to think. |
Focus on Solutions and Resilience
Teaching students about climate change in isolation can contribute to eco-anxieties and disengagement. But teaching climate change in combination with environmental stewardship opportunities can improve student well-being and environmental outcomes. |
