Entered into teaching through NYC teaching fellows (cohort 23). My undergrad degree was in marketing from Baruch College and my masters in education from Hunter College. Taught an ecology course my 2nd year teaching, found Climate Education Leadership Team (CELT) in its inaugural year and never looked back! My role now is supporting climate and sustainability programming in schools through climate action days, professional developments, youth leadership councils, and youth climate summits!
In this workshop, the Center for Sustainable Futures will share its findings from recent research on students’ relationships with climate change. Participants will be asked to reflect on their perceptions of their students’ engagement with climate action.
The second part of the session will be a panel discussion moderated by Kailyn Fox, Education and Training Manager at the NYCPS Office of Energy and Sustainability, with members of the Youth Leadership Council (YLC).
The NYCPS Sustainability YLC encourages diverse high school students to increase inclusive and impactful sustainability and climate action across NYC schools and communities.
