ClimeTime provides meaningful climate science education in Washington schools for a thriving, sustainable environment.

All nine Educational Service Districts in Washington, plus tribal and community-based organizations, offer programs for science teacher training that link Next Generation Science Standards and climate science. In addition to teacher professional learning, the initiative supports the development of openly licensed instructional materials that are made available on the Washington OER Hub – providing equitable access to standards-aligned, high-quality content.

The Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction members of the ClimeTime network shared progress to date, resource examples, lessons learned and learning, and plans for the future of this effort with the #GoOpen National Network during this professional learning webinar on Thursday, November 16, 2023.
