"The experiences, tools, and practices I developed by participating in Our Changing Planet (OCP) helped me to meet the many challenges of distance learning. When I start to feel overwhelmed, I fall back on the lessons and practices that were modeled with us. Using the OCP lens is grounding and reminds me about what is essential and foundational in all I teach."

We piloted Our Changing Planet in 2019 with 15 teachers from Alameda Unified School District. In the 20-21 school year we'll expand to 25 teachers who will support each other to use creative practice to engage with their students to address our most challenging environmental questions.
