General Assessment
Recommendation of how and where to use it
This video offers a valuable opportunity to explore climate solutions and encourages students to brainstorm ways to address climate change in their communities. Educators can invite students to identify and evaluate various approaches to climate change, examining both local and global initiatives. Students can discuss the effectiveness, feasibility, and potential challenges associated with different solutions. They can also research and present case studies of successful climate action initiatives from both local and global perspectives. Additionally, teachers can invite local experts to share their insights and experiences with the students.
Keep it Cool Classrooms is an educational resource of five videos that tackle a different yet important aspect of climate change. The resource aims to help students build climate literacy and resiliency, understand carbon emissions at a personal, community and global scale, learn coping strategies to deal with heavy climate emotions, and leave with practical tools for taking meaningful climate action.
A brief welcome video introduces students to the content and outlines what they can expect throughout the series. The resource can be completed as a class, or students can complete the lessons individually. The resource provides a student worksheet to jot down notes about the video, each video is approximately 10 minutes in length, with three questions at the end to provoke thoughtful class or small group discussion.
