When you teach Grade 9 Geography or Grade 10 Science this fall, use the power of social networking to engage your students in climate action! GreenLearning is looking for Ontario teachers to participate in our exciting new Climate Action Program, and we need to confirm enrolment in June.

In the Climate Action Program:

• You teach Grade 9 Geography or Grade 10 Science this fall and incorporate the Climate Change eCards activity. (To see Climate Change eCards, visit http://ecards.greenlearning.ca and choose Climate Change under the TOPICS menu.)
  
• As part of their learning, students prepare an eCard based on their research. Their eCard includes their personal pledge to reduce their carbon footprint. They email their eCard to three friends and encourage them to take action as well.
• Students track their pledges, and measure actual results.

To support the program, GreenLearning will:

• Provide each participating teacher with up to $450 to cover release time and any other expenses incurred (such as travel time to a workshop or prep time).
• Host and conduct a professional development workshop in the Toronto area in late August/early September.
• Provide easy-to-use tools for tracking student pledges and actions.
