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.

  • Hello,

    I'm excited about this curriculum and just forwarded it on to the staff at my school to wish them a Happy Earth Day. 

    I opened up the course page, and scanned the unit headlines. I was startled to see:

    "Unit 4: Solutions to Decarbonization"

    What? Standard usage is to say "Solutions to ProblemX." Decarbonization isn't the problem, it's a proposed solution. It's like saying, "Solutions to Nonviolence," instead of saying, more accurately, "Solutions to Violence." 

    I could see changing it to something like, "Unit 4: Solutions: Decarbonization." or even, "Unit 4: Solutions," or "Unit 4: Solutions to Global Overheating."

    I hope this can get changed. If it's not too late to change the course of climate catastrophe, it's not too late to change a unit title. 

    In Peace,

    Sam
