This session will consider how environmental justice teaching and learning exemplifies effective instruction, aligns with the CPS Vision toward connectedness and wellbeing, and supports leaders in alignment to the ISBE environmental education mandate, which now requires climate change education across all K–12 grade schools. School leaders will explore how these opportunities and approaches transcend traditional boundaries between classroom and community, indoors and outdoors, and across generations, disciplines, and local to global contexts. School leaders will also consider how to troubleshoot and problem-solve to avoid some of the barriers to this work that have cut short its potential in the past. Finally, we'll discuss insights from recent convergences of CPS teachers, leaders, and students; environmental justice community partners; and education researchers as a jumping off point for school leaders to reflect on existing or needed infrastructures and environments to support teachers to cross these boundaries in their instruction.
