Introducing Climate Project // April 2024

Kathy Hays

Introducing Climate Project, the newest course offering from OER Project that’s designed to help students explore the issue of climate change without the fear and uncertainty that defines so much of the current climate debate. Along the way they’ll build key reading, writing, and data-literacy skills needed to take action.       

Like all OER Project courses, this curriculum is free, flexible, and easily integrated into your LMS. Teach the course as an end-to-end elective or supplement your social studies class with Climate Project materials, the choice is yours!  

Explore course materials: everything is available online today! Interestied in learning more? Sign up for our first Climate Project Planning Session on May 7.

  • Hi! I’m homeschooling an 8th grader. Can I start off the year with climate change ( as my child is interested in the topic) or would it more helpful to start off with the BHP?

    thanks

    Hello  ,

    I think starting off with a genuine interest and a spectacular hook into learning is always a good idea.

    Something I've heard others are thinking about doing ( ) is to start off with a Climate Project introduction, and then sprinkle in other climate lessons as they continue with their regular course. 

    I think that BHP lends itself well to this approach.

    Any input from others?

    Hey Folks-- when we didn’t have time to develop a standalone CP course in 22-23, I ran CP out of BHP. I introduced it throughout the year and based on student interest, we ran with the Climate Summit instead of the Little Big History. It wasn’t perfect but it fit the interests of the students and was a valuable educational experience.

      That's a great adaptation and integration.

    I think any project like Little Big History or Climate Summit, while beneficial to their respective content, has a broader learning benefit as a culmination of sustained study. 

    We all need a few of those BIG moments to enjoy the accomplishment and reflect on learning.
