Design Tools

Toolkit #1: Plan Your Local Pathway

Start the design of your local pathway using Toolkit 1. The tools in this kit are intentionally sequenced to help you select a local anchoring phenomenon and culminating task that will be meaningful to students while also helping you achieve climate change science learning goals for your classroom context. You will end this part of the design process with a local climate change storyline and clear vision for student learning. 

Toolkit #2: Write Your Local Pathway

After planning your local pathway, visit Toolkit 2 to access resources to help you write lesson plans. With a storyline and clear vision in mind, you can write lesson plans that are coherent and meaningful to students while also helping students incrementally build and refine their climate change knowledge.
