Methodology

Step 1

Identification of climate change-related resources as teaching tools or lesson plans from learning portals, education databases, and other sources.
• Mapping the resources to the most appropriate discipline-specific curricular topics
• Classification and categorization of resources based on where (classroom, laboratory, or field), how (individually or in groups, with or without supervision), for whom (school or undergraduate students), and by whom (teachers to teach or students as self-learning exercises) they can be used as teaching tools.

Overview

Step 2

Internal review of the feasibility of usage of the identified climate change-related resource as a teaching tool, including examining copyright policies. The main criteria considered here are:

• Mapping the resources to the most appropriate discipline-specific curricular topics
• Classification and categorization of resources based on where (classroom, laboratory, or field), how (individually or in groups, with or without supervision), for whom (school or undergraduate students), and by whom (teachers to teach or students as self-learning exercises) they can be used as teaching tools.

Overview

Step 3

Teaching Resource Development (Teaching Tools and Lesson Plans)

• Identify how the selected teaching tool could be used. The main criteria considered here are:
• Would the teaching tool being recommended here be attractive to the teaching community for use in the classroom? Will it help improve learning of discipline- specific topics and thereby be an incentive for teachers to use the suggested resource?
•Can the teaching tool being recommended here be used as a stand-alone teaching tool or does it need support from additional tools related to either climate-related topics and/or discipline-specific topics?
• While integrating a given resource, do we need to introduce the climate topic in the beginning of a lesson plan or somewhere in the middle or at the end?
• Does this tool introduce or discuss a location- or region-specific topic?
• Write a detailed, step-by-step guide for the teachers on how to use the teaching tool being recommended here. Clarity and simplicity are given maximum importance while writing these guidelines.
• Ensure seamless connectivity between the climate topic and corresponding curricular topic while preparing a detailed lesson plan.

Overview

Step 4

Internal review of teaching resource for scientific accuracy and ease- of-use in the classroom

• This is being done by the project team based on their own knowledge and experience, with the help of information available on the Internet and in libraries, and by consulting appropriate experts (in science of climate change and in discipline- specific topics) locally and globally.

Overview

Step 5

Publishing the teaching tools and lesson plans on TROP ICSU website for its global review.

Overview

Step 6

External review of teaching tools for their scientific accuracy by Climate Science experts. The project team would then edit/modify the teaching tools and lesson plans as per the review and suggestions.Organization of workshops across the world for school and undergraduate teachers to review teaching tools and lesson plans for their use in regular teaching.

Overview

Step 7

Organization of workshops across the world for school and undergraduate teachers to review teaching tools and lesson plans for their use in regular teaching.

Teachers would review the connectivity of the suggested climate change topics with their discipline-specific topics, feasibility of its use in their regular teaching, and the flow of the lesson plans. They would seek clarifications wherever needed and suggest changes to the teaching tools and step-by-step guidelines. The project team would then edit/modify the teaching tools and lesson plans as per the review and suggestions.

Overview

Step 8

Formal publication of validated and peer-reviewed teaching tools and lesson plans on TROP ICSU website

Overview

Step 9

Submission of new ideas for teaching resources: During the workshop for teachers and subsequently, we expect many teachers to submit their own ideas to integrate climate change topics with regular curricular topics and/or create their own detailed lesson plans as per their expertise/experience and local needs. Those teaching tools and lesson plans too would be further developed/modified and validated/reviewed as above.

Overview

Step 10

Wider dissemination across the globe of the very idea of integrating climate change topics in the core curriculum across all disciplines and all levels of the education system, and the teaching tools and lesson plans being recommended here. We are supported by all our global partners in giving wide publicity to the teaching resources published on the TROP ICSU website and also in their implementation across the globe.
