Last year Amy Jolly, The Climate Center’s ECO2school’s Program Manager, was one of twenty-five people nation wide to serve on a best practice work group to advance climate education. The Climate Change Environmental Education POLCA (Project-based Online Learning Community Alliance) group was formed in the spring of 2013 as part of the U.S. EPA-funded project to develop multi-disciplinary climate education materials. The materials produced by nine working groups are now available to all at http://www.naaee.net/climatechange-POLCA
Formal and informal educators and professional developers will find research findings, standards, and teaching suggestions appropriate for social studies, language arts, science, and interdisciplinary teaching/learning—and links to valuable resources for working with learners from kindergarten to adult ages.
