Oakland Teachers Advancing Climate Action

WHAT IS OTACA ALL ABOUT?

The OEA Environmental Justice Caucus (EJC) received a grant from the National Science Foundation to help groups of teachers make online learning local, active, and relevant for students. The Oakland Teachers Advancing Climate Action (OTACA) collaborative gives us the opportunity to build on this work by supporting teachers and honoring their work as they support students to:

Research and map an Oakland-specific, climate relevant phenomenon or question
Make recommendations related to their findings and take action

This Year OTACA teachers designed and tested student-action projects related to environmental justice.
