CLIMATE CHANGE ACROSS THE CURRICULUM (CCAC) WILL SUPPORT TK-5 TEACHERS IN SONOMA AND MARIN COUNTIES TO WORK WITH SCIENTISTS, COMMUNITY PARTNERS, AND CLASSROOM EDUCATORS TO INTEGRATE CLIMATE CHANGE INTO EXISTING CURRICULA. THIS "TRAIN THE TRAINERS" PROGRAM WILL SHIFT THE EXISTING MODEL FOR CLASSROOM CLIMATE EDUCATION AND TEACHER PROFESSIONAL LEARNING AWAY FROM ADDRESSING CLIMATE CHANGE AS A DISCRETE TOPIC, AND INSTEAD WILL USE AN INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH THAT ENGAGES TEACHERS AND STUDENTS IN LEARNING AND LOCAL STEWARDSHIP OPPORTUNITIES IN COLLABORATION WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS. THIS WORK WILL SCALE UP AS LEAD TEACHERS WORK AS MENTORS TO THEIR COLLEAGUES AS WE ENGAGE COHORTS OF TEACHERS IN THE PROGRAM.
