  Drawdown Stories: Climate Solutions in Our Words

  Wednesday, January 21, 12:00-1:00pm CT

  Register Here

  This workshop introduces the power of climate storytelling as a tool for climate connection, education, and action. We’ll explore how personal narratives can bring climate science down to earth—making it human, local, and real. Drawing from Project Drawdown’s Neighborhood storytelling work, we’ll look at examples of how everyday people are shaping climate solutions. Participants will leave with a clearer sense of their own climate story and how to share it with courage and care.

  This free workshop is part of Teach Climate Network's monthly series, one of the many climate change education professional development opportunities and resources that we offer, designed to serve educators across grade levels and subject areas.

• Winter Webinar: Literacy in Unexpected Places: Deepening Literacy Skills through Place-Based Learning

  • When
    25 Feb 2026
  •  
    3:15 PM - 4:15 PM
  • Location
    Zoom

   New Hampshire Environmental Educators (NHEE), Vermont Education & Environment Network (VEEN), and Upper Valley Teaching Place Collaborative (UVTPC) are teaming up again for the Teach for Tomorrow: Winter Webinar Series, offering educators a diverse range of professional development opportunities, covering topics from environmental science and sustainable education to curriculum connections, all aimed at empowering teachers to engage students and create impactful learning experiences both indoors and outdoors. Participants will earn 1 hour of professional development.

  Join Mollie Surprenant, School & Youth Program Coordinator at Billings Farm & Museum, for a thoughtful exploration of how place-based experiences can deepen literacy learning in any setting. In this virtual Zoom session, Mollie will share how everyday moments in a specific place—using examples from her work at the farm—can naturally support key literacy skills and spark meaningful student engagement.

  With her extensive literacy background, Mollie will highlight clear curriculum connections, offer helpful refreshers for those who’ve been out of the classroom, and provide valuable insights for educators less familiar with current literacy expectations. Together, we’ll discuss how sensory-rich, real-world experiences can strengthen reading, writing, vocabulary, and critical thinking while seamlessly connecting to science and social studies standards.

  Discover practical strategies, engaging examples, and fresh ideas for weaving place-based ecological education into lessons—no matter what “place” you find yourself teaching.
