Title: Climate and Equity: Opportunity for High School Teachers July 30-Aug 5

We are seeking applicants for the MacArthur Foundation's Climate and Equity Institute for high school teachers, conducted by TERC, of Cambridge, MA. One week July 30-Aug 5 at Schoodic Institute in Maine (near Acadia National Park). 

The incidence of extreme climate impacts is increasing. Levels of eco-anxiety and existential dread related to global warming among youth are at record highs. Education about global warming, and its inequitable impacts, is urgently needed, yet teachers who address this need are isolated .

To continue to address this urgent need, we will host a group of 12 high-school teachers at a one-week, expenses-paid Climate and Equity Institute at the Schoodic Institute campus. The Institute will be held Sunday July 30 – Saturday August 5 2023. Travel expenses and stipend will be provided.

Teachers will discuss equitable pedagogy, hear presentations about the global — and psychological — impacts of climate change, explore climate change impacts firsthand through guided field trips, and have free time to pursue additional topics.

Information about the project, including an application form, can be found here
