Climate Education Resource Fair & Professional Development Workshop

• Saturday, September 27, 2025, 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Cornell Cooperative Extension of Tompkins County, the Sciencenter, and the Center for Climate Change Education at PRI are offering a FREE half-day event focused on climate education.

Register for this four-hour event to access resources for teaching about climate change that are locally relevant and grade-specific. This professional development workshop will cater to teachers at every grade level and across all disciplines. Informal educators are welcome too.

Climate Education is relevant in every discipline. 

• Recent ELA Regents Exams now include climate change-related topics. 
• Climate and energy are also Social Studies issues that cannot be deeply understood without mathematics. Health topics will increasingly focus on the dangers we face.
• The arts are an effective way to communicate about climate change.
• NYSSLS standards infuse more climate topics into science across all grades and science disciplines.

The day will begin with simultaneous programs for K-5, with PRI’s Ingrid Zabel, and for 6-12, with PRI’s Don Haas. These opening workshops will be followed by a Resource Fair, offering climate-connected resources, information, and activity ideas presented by PRI, the Sciencenter, Cornell Cooperative Extension, and other organizations.
