Undeclared Emergency: Addressing the Climate Crisis in our Schools

The job of educators is to prepare young people to thrive intellectually, financially, and emotionally in the future. Brookline teachers do an outstanding job of preparing students--but for a future that no longer exists. The future of climate change has arrived and we are living through an undeclared emergency. Should schools play a crucial role in addressing the climate crisis? Increasingly students, teachers and parents/caregivers demand "yes!"

Roger Grande, BHS Teacher, has spent the year working with educators, students, and parents/caregivers to make sustainability a core practice in Brookline schools. He'll speak to why schools must serve as a key institution in addressing climate change, and why they naturally fit in this role. Further, he'll present a blueprint for how Brookline Schools can move forward and adopt a sustainability mission. He is followed by a roundtable of administrators, teachers and a student who will discuss the obstacles and opportunities for our schools.
