From Tom Roderick
Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here!
Educators of grades preK-12 can make a pivotal contribution to the success of the global movement for a just and sustainable future. We can do so by giving our students a great education that prepares them to thrive in the challenging world they’re growing into and to shape that world as leaders for climate justice.
Teach for Climate Justice offers a compelling argument for what that education needs to be. It’s not a curriculum. Most needed now is an inspiring vision to inform and guide educators in stepping back, taking a clear look at our predicament, and rethinking how best to serve our students and the planet. You can order a copy of the book here: Teach for Climate Justice
