Introducing Climate Project // April 2024

Kathy Hays
Kathy Hays over 1 year ago

 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.

    I am LOVING the new layout for the Climate Project! It seems very streamlined and easy to navigate. I have been using materials from the Climate Project extension and I am glad to see that some of them are still incorporated within the full course, while still having enough differences to make it distinct. I appreciate the focus on historical skills that students can transfer from other OER courses, such as claim testing.

    I see the suggested pacing for each unit in the Course Plan, but I am curious to know if there are suggested time frames for lessons within each unit. I have been having a difficult time with my pacing this year since my district switched to an A/B block schedule. I am still exploring the website though, so I just might not have stumbled upon it yet!

    Hi Andrea Wong ! So glad that you are finding the new course useful so far. Lessons are definitely streamlined from the extension course and are designed to be 1-3 days. The exception to that is Unit 5, which are opportunities for student action-- those project-based lessons are longer but still designed to be modified to the time you have available.
