Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The climate crisis is the greatest challenge facing humanity. The complexity of anthropogenic climate change is expressed not only in the observation and understanding of physical and biological facts, but also in the effects and consequences it brings with it. It is therefore all the more important that teachers provide students with comprehensive information about the climate crisis in line with their professional responsibilities. In order to develop a basis for high-quality knowledge transfer on the subject of climate change, this seminar will cover the following: 1) deepening of interdisciplinary content knowledge (ecology, climate science, climate policies, climate psychology/communication) 2) development of own lessons on climate change under guidance 3) teaching your lessons, 4) evaluation and reflection of your micro-teaching. In addition, 5) possibilities for future school projects on climate change and professional networking (e.g. Teachers for Future) will be presented.

*) Factsheet on one expert lecture and personal summarized statements on three further lectures.
