Climate Resilience in the North Bay Teacher Workshop

June 16-20, 2025 (workshop is full)

The Water and Energy Education Program at Sonoma Water is looking forward to what is expected to be another successful 5-day workshop for up to 25 TK-6 grade teachers in Summer 2025. Teachers are invited to apply to attend a paid, 5-day workshop with local organizations working to address climate change in Sonoma County. Field trips will explore topics ranging from grassland restoration and land stewardship informed with Traditional Ecological Knowledge, to water resource security, changing ocean conditions, renewable energy and electrification, solutions-focused projects at school, and how to talk about climate change with students. Each day includes an afternoon work block with support from certified teachers to develop lessons and curriculum informed with NGSS. 

Check back in the fall for an announcement about our next workshop planned for Summer 2026.
