Why Water?
How do you teach about water now?Why connect water to climate?
People experience climate change through water
People can engage with a tangible, local impact
Water can make climate, sustainability, and natural hazards performance expectations relevant
Great entry point for resiliency planning
CIRES Education & Outreach Group, CU Boulder
Complexities
Flood and drought, sea level rise and storm surge
Soil moisture, evapotranspiration-food, ecosystems
Industry, economies, environmental and human needs
Legal complexitiesScale-dependent

Needs
What do you need to teach about climate and water in your classroom? Professional development Teaching resources Relevant information Support
What do you know for sure?
Professional Development
CIRES Education & Outreach Group, CU Boulder
Professional Development
Massively Open Online Courses? Anyone?Water in the Western United States (Coursera) Physical, legal, policy considerations, Colorado River Basin
Engagement Moving to On-Demand Format
Thanks for everything! I have learned a lot of new things and the course has given me some great ideas for direction for my high school Environmental Science students. I
hope you this course is offered in the future for other students...I would definitely
recommend it! Cheers!
