Climate Education Topics & Grade Bands

Instruction in climate education will be developmentally aligned across grade bands. The required topics include: 

  • Causes of Climate Change 
  • Impacts of Climate Change 
  • Solutions for Climate Change 

To support instructional planning, the Department will develop grade band objectives that reflect a coherent and developmentally appropriate progression of learning in climate education. These objectives will assist educators in designing instruction that builds across elementary, middle, and high school levels. Additional information regarding the grade band objectives is forthcoming.
