ELIGIBILITY:

This professional development opportunity is a component of Climate READY (Climate Resilience Education & Action for Dedicted Youth), an FAU Pine Jog initiative made possible by a generous grant from the  Environmental Literacy Program of the   National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Coordinated by FAU Pine Jog, the project focuses on six core communities  in Palm Beach County that are among the most vulnerable to extreme weather and other environmental hazards: 

  • Riviera Beach
  • West Palm Beach
  • Lake Worth
  • Boynton Beach/Delray Beach
  • Boca Raton
  • Pahokee/Belle Glade

Participants must currently teach (or plan to teach in 2022-23 school year) at a school located in one of these six core communities. Priority is given to 4th-12th grade teachers at Title I schools.

Registration is limited. Additional teachers at non-Title I schools within the six core communities will initially be placed on a waiting list.

To participate, please  REGISTER HERE.  Registration deadline: May 6, 2022.
