SUMMARY:Teaching Global Climate Change in Your Classroom
DESCRIPTION:Follow National Geographic Explorers to the treetops of the rain forests\, the reefs of Mexico\, the glaciers of Iceland\, and the shores of the Chesapeake Bay as they find solutions to global climate change. Practice innovative ways to visualize the changing climate with your students as we all seek a planet in balance. \nDescription\nEarth’s global climate is changing\, bringing numerous changes to the planet and the organisms that live on it. Scientific instruments around the world show that our global temperature increased by over 1°C during the second half of the 20th century. Consequences of this observed warming include substantial melting of glaciers\, rising sea levels\, and increased risk of drought\, wildfires\, and plant and animal extinctions. \nThis online course integrates scientific content and pedagogical practices that are important for teaching global climate change at the middle school level. In particular\, this course will help you to: \n\nExamine your own understanding of global climate change and human impacts working through activities that connect to big climate change concepts\,\nModify existing activities and create new lessons about global climate change to incorporate into your own instruction\,\nDevelop a library of tools and resources that you can use to inform your future instructional design around climate change\,\nUse the NGSS science and engineering practices (constructing explanations and creating models) to develop your own and students’ understanding of the concepts\, and\nAnalyze student thinking about climate change through video cases.\n\nCredit validation is available for this course from the University of San Diego. This class runs October 2-November 20.

SUMMARY:WE NEED TO TALK
DESCRIPTION:Talking about difficult issues like the climate crisis can be so uncomfortable that we often choose not to do it at all—even when we feel passionately about it. We wanted to learn more about how to break through our personal reluctance to discuss difficult topics and how we can each inspire change\, so we’ve asked Karin Kirk and Susanne Moser\, experts in climate change communication\, to lead us through the most effective strategies. \nJoin us on Wednesday\, October 9th at 11:00 AM PST / 2:00 PM EST / 6:00 PM GMT for this live\, online webinar.

SUMMARY:Skills for a Greener Future: Taking Stock and Looking Ahead
DESCRIPTION:The transition to an inclusive and environmentally sustainable development model will most likely disrupt labor markets. New jobs will be created and current jobs will be destroyed. \nIn the process of job creation and destruction\, the availability of the right skills will help pave the way to a productive green structural transformation. In managing the transition\, skills development policies that help upskill and reskill workers\, match skills demand and supply\, among others\, will be crucial. \nAgainst this background\, this GAIN Webinar will explore the linkages between skills and the Just Transition. Based on the recently presented ILO report Skills for a Greener Future\, it will shed light on the need for skills development policies that allow countries to seize employment opportunities and minimize the costs of the Just Transition. The report is based on a series of detailed country studies covering 32 countries and complemented with rigorous multi-regional economic modeling. \nThe Webinar will combine the presentation of the main insights of the report and the presentation of the modeling methodology used to assess the skills needs for green jobs\, applicable both at the national and regional levels. A 15 minutes Q&A session will end the webinar.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: BUILDING PERSONAL RESILIENCE IN AN EVER-CHANGING WORLD
DESCRIPTION:What’s the optimal state for your organization? \nHumans have a natural gift for connection and collaboration. \nThroughout history\, we have always found ways to come together to accomplish great things. We know that it’s possible to build thriving and effective organizations that have a real impact in the world. \nBut\, what is the reality we face when we look at organizations today? \nStress which shows up as burn out. \nStress is the big killer of employee engagement. Workload\, people issues\, global issues and work/life balance top the list of stressors for American workers. Together\, these issues are costing organizations hundreds of billions of dollars per year. \nIn this webinar\, we’ll learn how to structure workdays to what’s best for human biology by learning to reconnect with circadian rhythms – the way our biology was meant to operate. Participants will leave with an action plan for home and work wellness with the option to apply these practices to greater communities and organizations. \n  \nPRESENTER: \n \n\nErica Medina Stanulis – Founder | CEO\, Follow the Sun \nErica Stanulis is founder of Follow the Sun\, a transformational consulting agency that helps forward-thinking organizations and their employees become dramatically more engaged and effective. She has a background as a leader in social responsibility and process improvement\, solving problems across a wide range of industries from manufacturing and biotech to HR and real estate. Erica delivers best practices and solutions from Lean and Six Sigma—with a twist. As an experienced Ayurveda practitioner\, she incorporates wisdom from non-Western cultures along with ingenious concepts based on Nature to help her clients solve problems in novel ways. \nErica’s focus is on rapidly delivering lasting results. With a one-day workshop on process improvement\, teams learn to streamline their workflows and eliminate 30% or more of nonproductive activities. Groups and individuals also learn to align their activities with natural biorhythms to experience less stress and more flow every day.  In partnership with her clients\, Erica is putting an end to business as usual by engaging with work and life as meaningful endeavors that positively impact the world. \nCOST & CONTINUING EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS: \nISSP credential holders will earn 0.5 CEUs for attending this webinar. \nISSP Webinars are free for members and $25 for non-members.  After the webinar\, non-members will receive a discount code worth $25 off a new ISSP membership.
