The Future of Energy: An Educator's Toolkit
Inspire your students to build a better, brighter future!
Change the world around you and take your teaching career to the next level!
Creating an equitable community starts at the school and as an educator, you are in the perfect position to positively influence your students. And with the current state of the climate and our ongoing fossil energy crisis, the planet and our communities are in dire need of a change—that change will come from classrooms.
GBRI has partnered with the Rhode Island Energy Efficiency Resource Management Council (EERMC) to create a training curriculum for educators. We have utilized the National Energy Education Development (NEED) Rhode Island curriculum to create multiple live online (Zoom) trainings, in-person training sessions, and self-paced on-demand video tutorials to equip educators with everything they’ll need to know about energy, its use, complications around production, environmental and social impacts, and possible solutions around it.Â
Earn 3 hours of continuing education by attending the training live in RI, live online, or watch it on-demand at your convenience. Looking for more CE hours? Educators can earn up to 16 FREE CE hours through additional on-demand training and a GBRI climate change ambassador badge.
