What is the connection between climate change and fires? How will climate impact Eastern Washington communities in the near future? Washington Green Schools and ESD 123 are convening scientists and educators to investigate climate science topics, make connections to local climate-related phenomena like the impact of fires on the shrub steppe, and identify Next Generation Science Standards learning opportunities for K-12 students.

Join Washington Green Schools and ESD 123 to explore current research and make connections to local climate-related phenomena while engaging the Next Generation Science Standards and their Science and Engineering Practices. Teachers will have time to discuss and plan activities that will bring climate science learning into their classroom.

Refreshments and lunch provided.  Please bring laptop and writing utensil. Reusable cup or mug is encouraged. Teachers will receive 6 free STEM clock hours. For information regarding substitute reimbursement, please contact Lorianne Donovan-Hermann at ldonovan@esd123.org.
