If you are willing to share let me know. I'm just getting started on a series of classes to be offered to the public through the local Extension Office here in Florida.

The following resources from Purdue might be of interest: - 4-H Weather and Climate Science curriculum, set includes levels 1-3 plus a facilitator's guide ( https://shop4-h.org/products/w...734856042.1617208007 ) - Dynamics of Climate Toolkit prepares educators to understand both the science of climate and climate change and the pedagogy for effectively teaching it ( https://ag.purdue.edu/climate/for-k-12-teachers/#DOC ) - Activities for Conceptualizing Climate and Climate Change,...

I just found this thread and wanted to share the curriculum we released this year. "Sea-Level Rise in the Classroom," a curriculum that helps teachers explore sea-level rise science from the intersection of social and environmental issues, is now available online . In an effort to further support coastal education we will host six teacher workshops along the Gulf of Mexico in spring and summer of 2022! If you are interested in attending an educator workshop, please sign up online .

We helped create a curriculum on soil health with the idea it would be used as a tool for both agriculture adaptation and co2 equivalent reduction (as a mitigation tool) you can find the most recent version at http://soilcarboncoalition.org/learning/Soil_Health_and_Watershed_Function.pdf

Lofty goals but all important ones. Should we add arranging for Professional Development speakers and topics for the NECI monthly PD Meeting?

We had our kickoff meeting for the NECI Beta Test this afternoon. For those who were not able to attend I am putting the link to the recording here: https://us02web.zoom.us/rec/sh...Hwf.qlQ2LmpffXXs-Z3I Passcode:us3=Y=*$ I tried it just now by copying the link above without the passcode and pasting it into my browser. It brought up the recording just fine. Some people had asked for a copy of the PowerPoint slides I had today and I am attaching them here as well.

The Professional Development Committee plays a crucial role in enhancing the skills and knowledge of Extension employees and fostering collaboration among different stakeholders. As part of our responsibilities, we aim to inventory the existing professional development offerings and identify areas where improvements or new trainings are needed.

Lipedema Treatment is a condition that's been puzzling patients and doctors alike for years. It's characterized by a disproportionate accumulation of fat in the legs and sometimes arms, leading to pain, tenderness, and often a significant impact on mobility. This fat isn't like the kind that might appear from a few extra cookies; it's stubborn and doesn't respond to diet or exercise. That's where liposuction comes in as a possible treatment for lipedema.

My friends in New Jersey have established Climate Education standards across the curriculum. If you are working on climate curriculum in your state, you may want to crosswalk these standards with your materials. These standards are some of the first established for educators in the nation. If you're working with educators, standards driven instruction is more apt to be applied if standards are present. https://www.nj.gov/education/standards/

Given that nature-based solutions (NbS) are closely connected to climate mitigation and resilience-building, particularly in urban areas, what are the chances of integrating certification in those concepts and their use into PD? Perhaps we could utilize the course Urban Nature: Connecting Cities, Sustainability and Innovation from Lund University, on Coursera, https://www.coursera.org/learn...n=sustainable-cities as a model, or at least use it to inform our certification.

Given that nature-based solutions (NbS) are a growing and important set of understandings and practices in climate change mitigation and in building resilience, particularly in urban areas, perhaps we could consider adding them to our PD certification. The course Urban Nature: Connecting Cities, Sustainability and Innovation from Lund University could offer some ideas on that front. https://www.coursera.org/learn...n=sustainable-cities
