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: A Vision for Transforming Education 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.

The aim of the Teach for Climate Justice website is to support the building of a powerful national movement of educators, students, parents, and community members. Join us! The website will offer

  • an ever-expanding array of teaching activities and resources

  • tools for organizing support for climate justice education in your school, including a guide for organizing and facilitating Teach for Climate Justice reading circles

  • a monthly blog

  • climate education news and reports from the field

  • notices of workshops and webinars by myself and others

  • opportunities for you to share your ideas, triumphs, and challenges with a growing network of like-minded educators.

    Warmly, Tom Roderick
