Teach Climate Network
Summer Institute
The Teach Climate Network Summer Institute, formerly the Summer Institute for Climate Change Education, is back with a brand new look. We are also celebrating our 20th anniversary of connecting, inspiring, and celebrating educators and their work connecting learners to climate change education!
Join Wild Rose Education and Climate Generation along with 20 regional climate change education leaders from around North America as we practice what it means to teach climate change as an interdisciplinary, justice-centered issue.
Are you looking for a community of educational professionals and mentors who can support your climate change knowledge and teaching strategies? Our Summer Institute network is full of educators and climate change practitioners doing just that! Discover best practices, activities, lesson plans, and tools that will help you strengthen your climate curriculum and better support your learners.
Whether you’re a formal classroom teacher or a non-formal educator, this is the perfect opportunity to grow your climate change education skills and connect with like-minded professionals. Plus, scholarships are available.

Scholarships
Everyone from everywhere is invited to apply for a scholarship while registering for the Summer Institute on the bottom of the registration page.
If you are in the Southwest Region (Colorado, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico), Wild Rose Education is managing the Institute scholarships.
Rather than a written application, we host Listening Calls with applicants. These 1:1 20 minute phone or zoom calls give applicants time to share a bit about themselves, why they want to attend the Summer Institute, and how we can support them prior to the Institute to ensure the space is welcoming, safe, and inclusive.
If you are from UT, CO, AZ, NM and want to be considered for a full scholarship please contact us to schedule a Listening Call.
