This Climate Change curriculum provides a culturally sensitive and integrated education program that provides the basis for Weather, Climate and Climate Change learning, teaching, and assessment for grades 5 to 8 at the Chief Clifford Lynxleg Anishanbe School (CCLAS) in connection with Ojibway land principles and teachings.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Education is vital to strengthen the capacity of a generation to adapt to climate change and contribute to the well-being of their social and physical environments.<\/p>

This Climate Change Curriculum intends to be integrated at all levels of learning to build awareness and knowledge about climate impacts, environmental issues, and food security. It also aims to develop students\u2019 capacity to be critical thinkers and problem-solvers, creating action-oriented learning that leads to positive change in communities and secure adaptation when needed.<\/p>

This curriculum was developed based on multiple interactions with key community stakeholders. As a result, it was determined that Climate Change education is for all ages across all subjects and requires an integrated and holistic approach with age-appropriate materials tailored to each school group level.<\/p>

Teachers are encouraged to learn how to integrate the materials that have been developed, support the emotional\/mental health and well-being of students, and explore opportunities to take positive action.<\/p>

In consideration of the assessments conducted during the curriculum development process, it was identified that seasonal interactive activities would be the focus of the Elementary School, (early years program), especially with grades 1 & 2. In contrast, grades 3 & 4 would receive introductory lessons to prepare students for a more detailed and structured curriculum starting at grade 5, which can be complemented in Grade 5, Cluster 4 of the Manitoba Science Curriculum.<\/p>

The curriculum for grades 5-8 (middle years) integrates concepts from the earth, life, and physical sciences, as well as the most current data on climate systems and global approaches, to help students understand climate change, its justification, and why it is scientifically, culturally, and socially relevant.<\/p>

The curriculum also provides an overview of traditional Indigenous practices and knowledge. It will explore traditional ecological knowledge related to land, agriculture, hunting, and sustainability and emphasize the deep connection and respect that Indigenous cultures have for nature and the environment. This will encourage critical thinking and analysis through the lens of Indigenous perspectives.<\/p>

To achieve these objectives, the curriculum has been divided into three units, comprised of sixteen lessons.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Through hands-on experiences, interdisciplinary learning, and innovative thinking, we empower student learners to become stewards of the land and the environment. They are equipped with the knowledge and skills to address complex ecological challenges and create a sustainable future for future generations.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
