Center for Climate Literacy Launches Teacher Fellowship Program

The University of Minnesota’s Center for Climate Literacy is excited to announce the launch of its inaugural Climate Literacy Teacher Leader Fellowship Program. The Fellowship will support seven committed teachers from the Metro area to develop and implement climate literacy curriculum in their classrooms. Fellows will gain a greater understanding of climate literacy education, contribute to scholarly publications, collaborate with international partners, and become leaders in the growing community of climate literacy educators in Minnesota and nationwide.

This year’s applications included submissions from teachers in over 17 districts, representing content areas ranging from economics to physical education in grades K-12. The 2023-2024 application process will open in early August. 

The Climate Literacy Teacher Leader Fellowship program is made possible thanks to the generous gift from Dr. Pete Palmer.
