How do people feel about the Illinois Climate Education Hub?

"I started this work about 8 years ago, before any centralization of resources and materials existed. I was forced to piecemeal and build my curriculum together. When I became aware of SubjectToClimate, it was a game-changer! Everything you need is all in one spot ready to use, vetted by scientists, developed by teachers. It's a place that gives me confidence and hope!"

Ryan

High School Teacher

"As a biological science teacher I knew I needed to incorporate more climate connections to help my students but I didn't know where to start. SubjectToClimate allowed me to find the right elements that fit my exisiting curriculum and connected to my local area, thus making lessons even more relavant and digestible."

Jeff

High School Teacher

"This was the first time I had any experience with this resource. It would also be nice to bring more of these ideas to action to make our campus more sustainable and eventually regenerative."

Alexis

8th Grade Student

"I have found the SubjectToClimate lessons easy to navigate and execute, thoughtful in their execution, and vetted by scientists and teachers. The students at my library are very engaged when I use them, and often communicate environmental connections they are making during our time together. I think the Hub is something every environmentally concerned teacher should and would want to know about."

Alice

Public Library Educator

"Staying positive about what awareness and changes we can make that WILL have an impact. Climate Hub- already using it [right away]!...Making and advocating for changes in our school and local communities."

Lindsay

6th Grade Student

"I'm inspired by organizations like SubjectToClimate dedicated to educating the general public on climate change. I’m inspired by the brave high schoolers who helped pass Illinois’s first climate education bill just two years ago. It may be hard to think about how everyday people have the power to create change but we do."
