Inspire the next generation to create a sustainable and hopeful future Climate change is one of the greatest threats humanity has ever faced. The most recent 10 years have been the hottest on record, and the results have been increasingly extreme storms, flooding, and fires around the world. Understanding the causes of climate change and potential solutions is essential learning for students, and is aligned with NGSS standards. A recent report by the North American Association for Environmental Education Research indicates that 74 percent of U.S. teachers and 80 percent of administrators agree that climate change will have an overwhelming impact on students’ futures. But according to the same survey of more than 1000 teachers, only 42% say they even mention climate change in the classroom. In an effort to support teachers, Corwin conducted a market survey sent to more than 135,000 educators and school leaders in North America, asking about their concerns regarding teaching climate change. The top three issues reported were concern that the content was not related to their subject (65%), a worry that children were too young or vulnerable for such an upsetting topic (20%), and lack of confidence in their ability to understand and teach the science behind climate change (17%). In response to these concerns, authors Bertha Vazquez, Kimi Waite, and Lauren Madden wrote What Teachers Want to Know About Teaching Climate Change to provide research-based and classroom-tested guidance for K-12 educators to teach climate change accurately, effectively, and confidently. The book gives busy teachers the tools they need to incorporate climate change education across disciplines and align the content with existing standards without adding a new topic for overworked teachers to tackle. Offering a practical roadmap for teachers to integrate climate change lessons into their existing curriculum, this book Includes crowd-sourced tips for reducing our carbon footprint and inspiring success stories from teachers who have effectively taught climate change in their classrooms Focuses on overcoming additional obstacles to teaching climate change, such as lack of data literacy and potential partisan pushback Debunks the 10 most common misconceptions about climate change and encourages critical thinking skills to help students identify misinformation Fosters hope in students by acknowledging their personal agency and encouraging collective and meaningful action that builds community Provides bibliographies of free curriculum, lessons, and other content for teaching climate change across various age groups and disciplines This book is an essential resource for educators and leaders inside and outside of the science classroom who want to help their students build a better tomorrow.

Looking to tackle climate change and climate science in your classroom? This timely and insightful book supports and enables secondary science teachers to develop effective curricula ready to meet the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) by grounding their instruction on the climate crisis. Nearly one-third of the secondary science standards relate to climate science, but teachers need design and implementation support to create empowering learning experiences centered around the climate crisis. Experienced science educator, instructional coach, and educational leader Dr. Kelley T. Le offers this support, providing an overview of the teaching shifts needed for NGSS and to support climate literacy for students via urgent topics in climate science and environmental justice – from the COVID-19 pandemic to global warming, rising sea temperatures, deforestation, and mass extinction. You’ll also learn how to engage the complexity of climate change by exploring social, racial, and environmental injustices stemming from the climate crisis that directly impact students. By anchoring instruction around the climate crisis, Dr. Le offers guidance on how to empower students to be the agents of change needed in their own communities. A range of additional teacher resources are also available at www.empoweredscienceteachers.com.

At a time when it’s becoming increasingly obvious that life on Earth is at risk, here is a resource that helps students see what’s wrong and imagine solutions. Praise for A People's Curriculum for the Earth "To really confront the climate crisis, we need to think differently, build differently, and teach differently. A People’s Curriculum for the Earth is an educator’s toolkit for our times." — Naomi Klein, author of The Shock Doctrine and This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate "This volume is a marvelous example of justice in ALL facets of our lives—civil, social, educational, economic, and yes, environmental. Bravo to the Rethinking Schools team for pulling this collection together and making us think more holistically about what we mean when we talk about justice." — Gloria Ladson-Billings, Kellner Family Chair in Urban Education, University of Wisconsin-Madison "Bigelow and Swinehart have created a critical resource for today’s young people about humanity’s responsibility for the Earth. This book can engender the shift in perspective so needed at this point on the clock of the universe." — Gregory Smith, Professor of Education, Lewis & Clark College, co-author with David Sobel of Place- and Community-based Education in Schools

Because when you see the math, they can see it too. The role of today’s classroom teacher has evolved from being a disseminator of information to a facilitator of learning. As an elementary teacher, you can guide student thinking to deeper levels of understanding by making connections between and among physical, visual, symbolic, verbal and contextual representations. Seeing the Math You Teach, Grades K-6 is intended to help you help your students. It is an accessible guide for elementary teachers that focuses on making mathematics meaningful through multiple strategies and representations to help foster a love for mathematics in their students. The authors have written this book based on the deep belief that everyone can be good at math. It illustrates the most commonly seen and used visual models of each of the elementary mathematical content areas the way children think about them. Rather than a book full of prescribed problem solving strategies, this book will help you and your students literally "see" the structure of mathematical concepts–how and why they work–and make connections among various representations and topics. This is not the kind of book to be read cover-to-cover. It is organized in a flexible format to inform the math teaching and learning going on in a classroom at a given moment. Enhancing teachers’ own clarity and understanding in mathematics, or in other words, "to see the math they teach," this book: Provides 16 color-coded chapters–and a Topic Index–that can be used to quickly locate specific topics such as "place value", "unit fractions" or "equivalent ratios" Incorporates videos of how to use manipulatives to connect physical models to other visual representations Can be used as a planning tool with your PLC, a desk-reference, a teaching tool, and a family support tool. This guide equips you to help your students derive meaning, sense, and joy out of their mathematics learning. It helps them see math as more than "just numbers"--illustrating the ways they think and focusing on their understanding of how and why math works.
