"Article 12 of the Paris Agreement calls for all countries to deliver "climate change education, training, [and] public awareness"-which is our specialty. While few of us may be climate scientists, materials experts, or energy specialists, climate topics are relevant in almost every aspect of what we teach-whether that's business, law, engineering, social sciences, or humanities. We can and should be raising awareness at our institutions, advancing important ideas, and developing the next climate change leaders"

By the end of 2021, NYC DOE students had borrowed more than one million ebooks and audiobooks. Jacobs had long advocated for increased student access to digital collections, but it was the pandemic-driven pivot to remote learning that presented the opportunity to launch the new initiative."

"One of the projects we planned and executed together had the goal of supporting students' liberation from strict ideas about what books they should be reading. Often, without realizing it, when we lean too heavily on data pertaining to reading levels and achievement and share this information with students, it can lead to the development of prejudicial ideas about which books belong to which grades and readers. In my library, I much prefer the message that all books belong to all readers."

You can use them as a warm-up for the day's lesson or integrate them as part of a larger unit of study about reading or writing effectively. Students can even use read-alouds themselves to go on self-guided reading and writing journeys. I'll share with you a lesson where I used a read-aloud to teach writing and then share examples of independent interdisciplinary projects that students can do."

Over the years I've had history students create comics to tell stories from the Lewis & Clark expedition, to illustrate letters written by American Civil War soldiers, to create modernized dialogues between historical people, and to try their hands at crafting political cartoons.
