The workshop will address how teaching climate change satisfies state standards in a range of ways, and includes attention to teaching climate across the curriculum. Each of the three days will have a theme with demonstration lessons and associated resources tied to the theme. Day 1 will focus upon climate and climate change; Day 2 will focus on energy, energy history, and our energy future; and Day 3 will address resilience and communication. The agenda will draw from our updated Teacher-Friendly Guide to Climate Change, and the workshop is led by the four authors of the guide (Ingrid Zabel, Don Haas, Rob Ross, and Alexandra Moore) along with Cornell climate scientist, Toby Ault. We will share a wide range of resources and strategies, on our Earth@Home site. The resources have been largely developed with funding from the National Science Foundation. New resources include an extensive collection of short videos with associated activities, the Changing Climate: Our Future, Our Choice museum exhibit and its virtual counterpart, The World in a Tank: CO₂ Drawdown Challenge; and resources related to Cornell University's Deep Geothermal Heat Research project that is a central part of the University's decarbonization efforts, and more
