Maine Environmental Education Association 2026 Conference

Join three organizations leading the way in climate education in Maine — Maine Department of Education, Subject to Climate, and Maine Climate Action Now — to dive into the resources they have to offer. This workshop will begin as a large group and then will break off into smaller groups based on which resource you're most excited to learn more about. Learn more about each organization's offerings below.

Subject to Climate
Step outside for inspiration, then come inside to explore the resources on the Maine Climate Education Hub and discover practical ways to bring climate change into your existing curriculum. This interactive workshop provides a pedagogical overview, hands-on rotation activities to share ideas, and time to explore and select Hub resources for your own classroom.

Maine Department of Education
Come learn about the new Maine Seal of Climate Literacy and how you can implement it with your community. The Seal is a high school diploma endorsement that prepares and empowers students with environmental literacy, traditional ecological knowledge, and green workforce skills to rise to the challenge of climate change for the future of Maine’s communities, workforce, and natural environment. If you are curious or ready to jump right in, join us to learn more!

Maine Climate Action Now
MCAN staff members Ezra Sassaman and Isabelle Rogers will present educational climate justice resources their organization has been developing. These resources will be paired with participant brainstorming about how climate and other social justice issues are directly connected. We will also engage in open discussions about different ways of understanding the climate crisis and climate solutions by pairing modern science with traditional ecological knowledge.
