Building Climate-Literate Schools: From Classroom Practice to Systemwide Impact – Part 1

“What if every student left school not only understanding climate change but feeling empowered to lead solutions?

This two-part Community of Practice invites educators and district leaders to reimagine climate literacy as a driver of student agency, equity, and whole-system transformation.

In collaboration with Lyra Colorado, we’ll explore how the Seal of Climate Literacy—a new statewide initiative recently signed into Colorado law—can be adapted as a powerful framework for schools across the country. The Seal serves as a catalyst for embedding sustainability into district strategy, professional learning, and community engagement—not just as a subject, but as a shared mission.

What You’ll Gain:

• Tools and real-world examples from schools using the Seal to guide change
• Strategies to align climate literacy with curriculum, instruction, and operations
• A national community of practice committed to building climate-ready schools

Whether or not your state has adopted similar policy, this series will help you apply the spirit of the Seal in your local context, so that every student can thrive in a climate-resilient future.”
