This course explores climate science by introducing Earthʻs cycles and systems. Place-based, climate science educational resources are provided to help make climate change and climate resilience concepts more relevant to Hawaiʻi-based learners. 5th-grade-level lessons are used to teach foundations in climate science. Participants will use and/or adapt these lessons to fit their grade level standards. All grade-level educators are welcome and encouraged to participate if interested in learning more about climate science and adapting to climate-related lessons in a Hawaiʻi-based classroom setting.

This online course will begin on July 21, 2025, and the payment deadline is July 18, 2025.
Before the start date, participants will receive instructions from the instructors on how to access the course content. The instructions will be sent to the email used with the Learn Soft platform and will most likely end in @k12.hi.us. This is the email address that the DOE system assigns to you, and we cannot change it through the HSTA PD website. It is the participant’s responsibility to check for this email before the course starts. Contacting HSTA after the start date to inform us that you did not get the information will not result in a refund.
