This three-day experience will include networking with a national audience, as well as one full day dedicated to working, planning, and learning with regional cohorts. On-screen time will be segmented, with the opportunity to choose which sessions you would like to attend.

Cohort Partners

We are thrilled to announce the addition of a cohort model to this year’s summer institute!

13 regional partners across North America are working to create an innovative, collaborative, and solutions-focused virtual conference with our team. Each of these cohort leaders are climate change education experts within their communities, and we are incredibly excited and fortunate they will be joining us this summer. Our cohort partners will each lead mini-workshops on day two of the Institute, focusing on climate change impacts, solutions, and relationships across their regions.

Agenda

This three-day Institute is structured to allow time for learning and national networking on the first and last days. Educators will attend a regional cohort workshop facilitated by a regional cohort leader on the second day to focus on place-based climate change education and the need for ongoing support throughout the year. This small group of 20-50 educators will explore local impacts, actionable solutions, connections to local experts, and planning and networking. All aspects of the Institute will be held virtually.

Schedule details coming soon.

Technology Needs

In order to participate fully, we require each participant to have a computer with access to the internet, microphone, and camera. You will need to access Zoom as the video conferencing platform. Pre-Institute tutorials and training on how to use the virtual platforms will be available.
