The Forum on the Future of Public Education is hosting an interactive morning workshop for K–12 teachers navigating Illinois’s new climate change education mandate on Saturday, March 7, from 8:30 a.m. - noon in the Campus Instructional Facility.
Join Education faculty Sam Lindgren, Jon Hale, Stephanie Toliver, Oliver Tapaha, post-doctoral researcher Carine Verschueren, and Leon Liebenberg of the Grainger College of Engineering for a morning of facilitated activities and panel conversations.
Participating teachers will examine what climate change education can look like in practice and the questions it raises for teaching and learning. The session will also offer an early introduction to new climate change and sustainability education professional learning opportunities at the University of Illinois.
The workshop is open to Illinois teachers in all K-12 subject areas. The workshop is free, but space is limited, and advance registration by February 26, 2026, is required. Participating teachers will receive professional development hours.More information
