Empowering our Students with Climate Education in New Jersey Schools with Tammy Murphy, Ep67

As the world makes strides toward a green economy, the U.S. State of New Jersey is determined to be a leader in the movement. And, the First Lady of New Jersey, Tammy Murphy, is ensuring that citizens are prepared. She has spearheaded the initiative of integrating climate change into school curriculum. New Jersey is now the first State to require the topic be taught across all disciplines in the K-12 grade levels. With the consequences of global warming affecting us all, there's no better time to ensure that students understand the complexities of this issue. By providing them with the knowledge of how and why things are happening, students will be better equipped to tackle the challenges they will face and succeed in the opportunities being created to address them. HighlightsHow did she do it?What does it look like in classrooms?How can other schools and States do the same?What YOU Can DoTalk about what New Jersey is doing with others and encourage your local schools to do the same.
