September 2025 Community of Practice

Building Climate-Literate Schools: From Classroom Practice to Systemwide Impact – Part 2

“How do districts move from commitment to transformation?”

In the second session of our two-part Community of Practice, we’ll dive into the real-world application of the Seal of Climate Literacy as a tool for institutional accountability, instructional innovation, and student-led change.

Through district spotlights, implementation roadmaps, and collaborative dialogue, participants will explore how to:

• Align curriculum and professional learning with climate literacy outcomes
• Foster authentic student agency in climate action
• Build cross-departmental and cross-sector leadership to drive long-term change
• Embed climate literacy metrics into school improvement goals and system-wide evaluation
• In partnership with Lyra Colorado, we’ll go beyond theory to examine how districts are scaling climate literacy systemically—and what it takes to lead that shift.

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.”
