Energy & Climate Education Project
TEACHER PROGRAMS & RESOURCES
Teacher Professional Development
Inside Education hosts several energy and climate focused professional development programs each year. The goal is to expose teachers to people, places and perspectives that can enrich their energy & climate lessons. We aim to provide experiences – stand under a wind turbine, tour the oil sands, or check out the latest research lab at a university and more! Teachers will be armed with the knowledge, skills and a wealth of resources to help connect students to the energy & climate topics that are shaping our environment, economy and society.
